A Tipperary peacekeeper is one of the leaders of a major fundraising attempt to take place in the Lebanon.
Captain Margaret Hogan from Burgess is one of 200 troops who’ll be taking part in a two day exercise which has already raised almost €6,000 for Milford Hospice in Limerick, Cork Arc Cancer Support and Waterford Hospice.
The troops in an Irish-Polish UN battalion will work in teams to complete a snake hill run on May 30th, climbing the same equivalent height as Mount Everest.
Engineers will then complete a 25 or 40 kilometre march the following day carrying a 14kg weight.
