In 2025 I signed up to the first Peak the Reek challenge. However, just a couple of weeks beforehand, I had to undergo some emergency spinal surgery. At the eleventh hour my amazing cousin Geraldine stepped in to walk in my place. And this year, we’re planning are hoping (and doing the physio) to climb together.

As Chair of Leeds Irish Health and Homes, one of the three Fréa partners I see first hand the work the organisations do to help people when they are at a vulnerable time in their lives.

In September I will be travelling to Co. Down, Ireland to climb Slieve Donard, the highest mountain in Ulster.
