Mark McConnell is taking on a 24 hour hiking challenge for Pieta House

Like many other business people, Abbeyside's Mark McConnell has been forced to temporarily shut the doors of MC Strength and Conditioning due to Covid Restrictions. However, he's been keeping himself busy organising a charity event for Pieta House.

Mark will brave the elements this weekend coming (January 30th) by doing a 24 hour continuous hike up and down Crohaun Hill, part of the Comeraghs range and within Mark's own 5k radius.

He's set up a GoFundMe page and is already fundraising in earnest. He told us this morning on The Big Breakfast Blaa that he feels it's more important than ever to take care of our mental health.
