Veteran journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird says he is not sure how long he "will have mobility" after his Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis.
In April, he organised Climb with Charlie, which saw many join him climbing up Croagh Patrick to raise funds for Pieta House and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.In a video shared on Twitter yesterday, Charlie told his followers there is "no possibility" he can take part in the climb this year, but he will still mark its anniversary.
In the video, which shows Charlie at home with his dog Tyler, he says via a voice box: "Hi everyone, on behalf of my wife Claire and of course Tyler, myself, I want to wish everyone who supported Climb with Charlie a healthy and happy New Year. Charlie then addressed his uncertainties around his mobility, saying: "To be honest my own situation is not great. I am no longer certain how long more I will have mobility, but I am going to continue to raise awareness for Samaritan volunteers all over the country, who every day are extending the hand of friendship for people who are in dark places.
