Summit for O.N.E., Summit for all

I am Marcas O'Raghallaigh, a transition year student at Mount Temple Comprehensive in Dublin, Ireland. I was invited to the launch of the O.N.E. Fuchsia Appeal in October and was impressed by their cause, and by the dedication and sacrifices of members of the defence forces at home, abroad, and with the United Nations.

Help me summit Carrauntoohil, the highest mountain in Ireland, with a team of six students, two teachers, and two veterans to raise money for OGLAIGH NAISIUNTA NA HEIREANN/ORGANISATION OF EX-SERVICE PERSONNEL, a charity that supports veterans of the Irish Defence Forces.

Our summit journey is planned for February 25, 2022. All funds raised will go to support goals of O.N.E.
