11 Jan
Summary
- Man cycles from Ireland to Mount Everest to fundraise.
- Goal is to raise 30,000 euro for Cork University Hospital.
- Will attempt to hike bike to Everest base camp.
Daragh Cronin, a 23-year-old from Cork, has begun an ambitious cycling expedition from Ireland to Mount Everest. This monumental journey is motivated by a desire to give back to his community and support Cork University Hospital's children's wards. He aims to raise 30,000 euro to ensure young people in Munster receive top-tier pediatric care.
The expedition commenced on February 14th, starting at Blackrock hurling club. Cronin will travel via ferry to France, then cycle through Europe and the Middle East before reaching Nepal. This undertaking follows his previous accomplishment of cycling nearly 13,500km across Africa with no prior experience.
Upon reaching Nepal, Cronin intends to cycle to Lukla and then carry his bike to Everest base camp, aiming to set a new record for an Irish individual. He expressed his gratitude for the immense support he received during his African journey and wishes to reciprocate that kindness through this cause.
