The Ashling Murphy 23 Peaks Challenge begins at 9.30am this morning.
This morning marks the start of a challenge fundraiser in the name of the late Ashling Murphy.
Paul Tierney has set himself a task to ascend 23 of Ireland's highest peaks for the Ashling Murphy Memorial Fund and the Children's Grief Centre.
As well as climbing the peaks, he'll be running and cycling between locations.

Just under €7,000 has been raised, with a final target of €23,000
Mr. Tierney explains why the number 23 is so prevalent in his challenge:
Anyone wishing to donate to the cause can do so here.
