Charlie Bird with his army of volunteer climbers, Leitrim's Seamus O’Rourke, comedian Jason Byrne, Bosco and the music of the Beatles on the show this evening.
Charlie Bird has been candid about his recent Motor Neuron Disease diagnosis and he's meeting the volunteers helping launch the inaugural "Climb with Charlie" event. Charlie, along with Vicky Phelan, hopes to inspire thousands of Irish people to climb Croagh Patrick and other peaks around the country (and across the world!) on April 2 next.
And you'll get all the details about how you can get ready for the challenge in the 12 weeks between now and then and how to register for the Croagh Patrick event.
Mary McAleese, Davy Fitzgerald, Baz Ashmawy, Joanna Donnelly, Dr Harry Barry, Dermot Bannon, Karl Henry and many more are throwing their full support behind the epic climb.
Leitrim actor and writer Seamus O'Rourke will give his take on 'new year, new you', while comedian Jason Byrne will also be on the show.
