Cancer Fund for Children benefits from Everest and Fuji virtual climbs
A 53-strong team from the Irish Football Association have successfully conquered two of the world’s best known mountains to raise more than £1,300 for the Cancer Fund for Children charity.
The climbers scaled Mount Everest and Mount Fuji in a virtual challenge rather than travelling thousands of miles to tackle the mountains.
Every department of the Irish FA was represented on the relay team and expedition leader Martine Power thanked all the participants and those who supported them by making donations.
Martine, who is a Let Them Play Officer with the Irish FA Foundation, said: “It was a fantastic challenge and a lot harder than it looked on paper. It was great to get the team together in these times to raise money for a great cause.

Latest fundraising initiatives provide welcome boost for Cancer Fund for Children
Northern Ireland players and fans, with support from the Irish Football Association, are continuing to raise much-needed funds for Cancer Fund for Children.
The charity, which has been the Northern Ireland senior men’s team’s charity partner since the run-up to Euro 2016, has received a donation of nearly £5400 from the three latest fundraising initiatives organised by the association.
The bulk of the money was raised through a raffle for a signed match shirt donated by Northern Ireland captain Steven Davis from his record-breaking appearance against Bosnia and Herzegovina back in the autumn.
