Journalist Charlie Bird will give what will inevitably be another emotional interview on tonight’s Late Late Show, speaking about his diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease and the charity walk he is planning for tomorrow by climbing Croagh Patrick.
It’s understood that Charlie has been studying the ancient mountain and that it has lifted his spirits during this difficult time.
Charlie told the Late Late audience on his last outing:
“I have found peace – when you meet people, they lift you. I told you before that I cried every day since being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease – I don’t cry now.
“I am no longer as afraid of what is happening to me as when I was first told I had a terminal illness”.
Charlie is organising the climb for April 2 in a hope to raise funds for Irish Motor Neurone Disease Ireland and Pieta, the national suicide prevention charity.
Charlie’s inspirational plans have inspired a Twitter hashtag, #ClimbWithCharlie which will no doubt be popular in the coming months.
