Teacher climbs mountain with washing machine on his back for a great cause

A teacher from Waterford has completed the gruelling task of carrying a washing machine up Slievenamon mountain in a challenge for charity.

Enda O’Doherty, 48, set out on the task on Sunday to help raise awareness and funds for the Suicide and self-harm crisis centre, Pieta House.

Speaking to irishexaminer.com, Mr O'Doherty explained his reason for carrying a washing machine up the 2,365 ft mountain.
