Broadcaster Charlie Bird cried “tears of joy” after making it to the top of Croagh Patrick – as he confirms more than €2million has been raised for charity.
The retired RTE star was joined by thousands of eager hillwalkers yesterday as they made their ascent on the Mayo mountain in the hope of raising vital funds for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and Pieta House.
Charlie, who was diagnosed with the illness last October, made it to the top of the mountain – and said he cried “tears of joy” when he achieved his goal.
