Climb With Charlie

In autumn 2021, veteran Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird publicly announced that he has Motor Neurone Disease. Despite this devastating diagnosis, he knew that he wanted to do something to help others, and so he decided to organise a charity climb of Ireland's famous Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick. Little did he know then that he would create a national event and raise almost ?2.5 million for charities close to his heart, Pieta House and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.
