A Kildare man is trying to raise funds to help the homeless crisis in Ireland by running a virtual Mount Everest challenge.
Big-hearted Kieran McNamara, who is originally from Ardclough but is living in Celbridge, will run a total of 64.2km during the month of January.
Focus Ireland is one of Ireland's leading charities working to prevent people becoming, remaining or returning to homelessness.
Kieran said: “If you are reading this and can donate even €1, it will go a long way to help someone in need this year.”
The fundraising campaign on gofundme.com already has dozens of donors of small contributions and the fund has exceeded €1,000 in a matter of a few days.
