One Co Cavan man is on a mission to raise money for the local Sosad branch and it involves heading to the North Pole.
Daniel Downey will take on a challenge to climb a mountain close to Svalbard.
This isn't the first time that the local community worker has taken on a challenge for charity with Mental Health Ireland and SOSAD receiving funds from a previous trip to Greenland and trekking a Camino.
Daniel describes the climb that lies ahead as "a good hike", estimating three hours up and two hours down.
A suicide survivor, Daniel has huge admiration for the support service SOSAD provide. He notes that beyond visiting your GP, there was limited support available when he endured his darkest days in his life over 20 years ago.
The Cavan Town community worker says he has always felt compelled to help the local SOSAD branch in whatever he can.
