Co Down man climbing 100 mountains in three days after cancer diagnosis

A Co Down man has set off on a challenge which would put many off - but after a cancer diagnosis three years ago, he's not letting anything come in his way.

Harry Teggarty, from Annalong, took off to begin his mountain challenge on Monday morning, and will return home after he has conquered 100 peaks.

The 72-year-old, who also is in the Mountain Rescue Team, decided he's take on the mountain expedition after he was diagnosed with leukaemia. Still undergoing chemo treatment, Harry is raising money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma NI.
