Friends Of Midlands Dad With ASL Take On Croagh Patrick Challenge

'The Fight For Johnny's Girls' campaign continues.

The friends of a midlands man with Motor Neuron Disease will climb Croagh Patrick to raise money for his family.

Portarlington's Jonathan McCowen was diagnosed with ASL - an aggressive form of MND, for which there's no cure - last year, and has already lost his ability to speak or walk.

14 of his friends will make the 764 metre climb this Sunday to get one step closer to the fundraiser's $750,000 Austrialian Dollars target.

'The Fight For Johnny's Girls' GoFundMe page has already raised over $380,000.

Jonathan is currently living in Australia with his wife and two young daughters.
