One of Ireland’s most challenging and heartwarming fundraising events has set off from Dublin.
Noah’s bed push is a fundraiser inspired by a popular six-year-old Trentagh boy who has been undergoing treatment for leukaemia since January.
The challenge is beginning at Crumlin Hospital for sick children, and a team of dedicated volunteers will be pushing all the way to Letterkenny Hospital by Sunday evening.
