Charlie Bird shares special video message as next Walk Of Friendship event announced

Charlie Bird has shared a special video message thanking the public for their huge support with Charlie's Walk of Friendship.

The veteran reporter, 73, who has been battling Motor Neurone Disease, gave an update following the 5K in the Phoenix Park on Saturday. And in the message, in which he was joined by his beloved dog Tiger, he revealed what's next for the ongoing charity campaign.

During the event Charlie helped light candles in solidarity with others in Ireland and around the world who have a terminal illness. The video was recorded using Charlie's special voice bank which gives him his own voice despite the struggles he faces with MND.
