Charlie Bird gave well-wishers a bittersweet update as he posted a pre-Christmas picture but warned: “I don’t know how long more I will survive for.”
The ex-RTE newsman, 73, has inspired the nation with his battle against motor neurone disease, which led to the Climb with Charlie mission up Croagh Patrick that raised over €3million for charity. In the post, Charlie wrote: “Hi, myself and Tiger want to send you all Christmas wishes.
"But I need to be honest, over the past couple of weeks my MND has started to spread to my limbs and I don’t know how long more I will be mobile for, and survive for. But while I can I want to extend the hand of friendship.”
