Bailieborough News. July 4th 2022 . Matthew J. Cullen
/in News /by Liz FlemingLocal Man to climb Croagh Patrick—Three times in the one day, with his two sons: Local man, Derek McElwaine and his two sons, James (aged 11) and Conor (aged 8) are hoping to climb Croagh Patrick, three times on Sunday, July 10th in aid of the Bailieborough Cancer Comfort Ltd.
Derek takes up the story ”Both my mother and father had cancer and my father used this vital service. My sons are James aged 11 and Conor aged 8 and in 2019 we climbed the mountain and James wanted to do it again that day, so we decided the next time we climb it, we would do it twice for Charity and when he accomplished it twice, he decided that he wants to do it three time’s this year. Both children have great stamina and I have to say, they keep me on my toes but I don’t expect them to do it 3 times, if they do it twice, they will be doing great. I will do it the third time. We plan to do it on Sunday next, 10th July and I will be posting videos on my Facebook page, so people can follow our progress on the mountain that day. People can donate by the link on the fundraiser I set up on Facebook or there are sponsorship cards in Bailieborough and surrounding area in the pubs and shops or people can donate in Foxes Bar and Restaurant in Bailieborough”. Last year, Derek and the two boys did the climb twice for the same charity. The link to donate to this very worthy cause is: https://www.facebook.com/donate/514242423546369/?fundraiser_source=external_url
