Vicky Phelan has sent a message of support to her friend Charlie Bird as explained she was in too much 'pain' to travel to his book launch.
The CervicalCheck campaigner, who has terminal cancer, has struck up a great friendship with ex-RTE reporter Charlie, who is also battling a terminal illness, and the pair keep in touch via social media.
The Climb With Charlie coffee-table book, which features photos from the April 2 event, was released last week and was launched in Westport on Tuesday evening with a second launch in Dublin on Wednesday.
