We are tackling the highest peaks across Ireland and aiming to raise £1m for Cancer Fund for Children, to ensure that no child in the 32 counties of Ireland needs to go through cancer alone.
The island of Ireland contains 32 counties - 26 in the Republic of Ireland and 6 in Northern Ireland. Each county has its unique features, be it rivers and lakes, rugged sea cliffs and sandy beaches, or amazing mountains and valleys.
The ‘County Highpoint Challenge’ involves, as the name suggests, visiting the highest point in each county. The heights vary widely and wildly; from climbing Ireland’s highest peaks to wandering around on boggy hills in search of small cairns.
A team of business leaders is aiming to complete the Challenge over 9 days, starting in Donegal on 7th June 2025 and finishing in Mayo on 15th June 2025. During the challenge the team will climb nearly 11,000m, which is 1.25 times the height of MT Everest from sea-level.
