John Climbs Croagh Patrick for Charity | Ireland News

Galway’s John Mullarkey is tackling Croagh Patrick non-stop for 24 hours—climbing and descending repeatedly—to raise vital funds for Parkinson’s Ireland Galway and Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland. Motivated by his wife Paula’s journey with Parkinson’s and his close bond with Deirdre Jordan and her son Joe, who relies on their life-changing assistance dog Irwin, John is training hard despite juggling work and family. The climb’s toughest moments? Facing the mountain alone in the dark—but he’s fueled by the promise of dawn. Join him, cheer him on, or donate online—all proceeds split evenly to support these life-changing charities that receive no government funding.
