A Waterford schoolteacher flew to Africa on Monday, in a bid to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in the name of mental health awareness.
Last year Enda O'Doherty, a teacher at De La Salle College in Waterford City, grabbed headlines when he walked from Belfast to Waterford with a washing machine on his back to raise funds for Pieta House.

Enda says training has been tough, but he's looking forward to the challenge.
