Firefighters Climb Everest - Aoibheann's Pink Tie

Come out and support your local fire brigade as they fundraise for children’s cancer charity, Aoibheann’s Pink Tie. This year, the firefighters all over the country will be climbing the equivalent height of Mount Everest, a staggering 8,848 meters (that’s 29,029 feet) above sea level! They will also be providing entertainment including live streamed lip sync battles and funny dance videos from around the country. This event reflects the uphill battle families around Ireland are struggling with everyday when a child is diagnosed with cancer and undergoing treatment.

Championing this event will include Grania Willis, one of the first Irish women ever to climb Everest and Pat Falvey, the first Irishman to complete the seven summits. Both Grania and Pat and many others will be recording inspirational messages to the NRFA firefighters to support them and will be available for interviews, together with many other climbers and inspirational people! Expect to see some famous faces.

Now more than ever charity drives such as these need public support. The needs and the services of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie did not stop during the Covid crisis and restrictions. Families all around Ireland have been supported by Aoibheann’s Pink Tie, throughout the pandemic.

So. Please give generously and let’s break 2019’s fundraising figures!
