The Adventures of teddy bears Captain Paddy & Lucky was launched by Jason Phelan in 2022.
A Westmeath man has raised a fundraising milestone of over ten thousand euro for two charities.
Mullingar's Jason Phelan launched The Adventures of Captain Paddy & Lucky at the end of 2022 - which involves flying different types of planes with two teddy bear mascots.
He's now flown on 65 different types of aircraft in 27 different countries across five continents - and has raised 6,000 for LauraLynn Children's Hospice and 4,000 for Dogs Trust Ireland.
Captain Paddy and Lucky's final journey will take place sometime in 2025 - they'll then be auctioned off to charity with boarding passes and logbooks with all their flights.
Mr Phelan says his most memorable flight was over Glastonbury this summer:
