RTE legend Charlie Bird asks the public to walk with him in aid of Samaritans

RTE legend Charlie Bird will lead a 5km forest walk in aid of Samaritans - and he is asking members of the public to join him.

The veteran broadcaster was diagnosed with Motor neurone disease in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic. He famously launched the "Climb For Charlie" campaign where he and other celebrities climbed Croagh Patrick to raise awareness about the condition.

Charlie said: "I am so excited about this coming Sunday when I am going to lead the walk for Samaritans forest walk in Avondale near Rathdrum in County Wicklow. We will be heading off at about 11 o'clock and fingers crossed about the weather - hopefully it is good.
