Mighty Mayo Mountain Challenge

Mighty Mayo Mountain Challenge


COULD you climb the three highest peaks in Mayo – Mweelrea, Croagh Patrick and Nephin – in one day? Well, if yes is your answer then here’s your chance to prove it. The Mighty Mayo Mountain Challenge 2009 takes place on Saturday, August 22.  On that day volunteers will climb Mayo’s highest 3 Peaks - Mweelrea (814m), Croagh Patrick (764m) and Nephin (806m) - all in ONE day.  The Challenge aims to raise funds for Cancer Action Mayo.  
The group is looking for volunteers to participate in the climb on August 22 and also volunteers to act as support crew and medical teams (Physios and trained first aiders).
This will be a physically and mentally demanding challenge so it is important that participants in the climb have a good level of fitness and have completed some hill/mountain climbing in the course of their training.  More information will be provided to those who register for the challenge.
All proceeds raised will go towards the Cancer Action Mayo Charity.  Cancer Action Mayo helps to provide funding to local cancer services based here in Mayo.  Therefore all money raised from this event will stay in Mayo and help Mayo-based cancer patients.
