We were delighted to present Pieta House and Women's Aid with a cheque for an impressive €17,000 which we raised from our 4 Peaks Challenge this year! This cheque was accepted by Emma Greally from Women’s Aid.

Back in June, our team of climbers completed the 4 Peaks challenge within the 24 hour limit (23 hours 25 minutes to be exact!). They began their challenge at Carrauntoohil, Co. Kerry (1,038m), then went on to tackle Mweelrea, Co. Mayo (814m), Slieve Donard, Co. Down (925m) and Lugnaquilla, Co. Wicklow (850m). There were a few sore bodies but all of them recovered well and were delighted with their achievement. 

We’re extremely proud of them all and very grateful to everyone who donated. We would also like to thank the people who drove the minibuses between the mountains: Bryan McKenna, Laura McKenna and Niall Teague.

The amazing team who completed the challenge, thank you for your massive effort:
