It comes after the former broadcaster Charlie Bird, who was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, appealed to public to back his efforts to raise money for a number of charities.

He wants people to climb a mountain or hill in their local area on April 2nd, as he and a group of friends climb Croagh Patrick in County Mayo.

Caitriona Twomey of Cork Penny Dinner says walk at Gougane Barra is planned, alongside a number of other events.

Anyone participating will be asked to contribute a small registration fee of €5, with all monies raised going to IMNDA and in memory of Ashling Murphy, the Sexual Violence Centre Cork.

Charlie Bird says we're climbing mountains for people who are climbing mountains every day because of what they are facing:

"I know I am going to leave this lovely country and planet, maybe in six months or a year. I want to do something for everybody for the future."

For more information on locations and to participate, you can contact Cork Penny Dinners at 4 Little Hanover Street, Cork, on Facebook, on Twitter @PennyDinnersCor, or email them at [email protected].
