Stranorlar man, Mark McIvor, is undertaking a ten mountain challenge in the month of September in aid of the North West Motor Neurone Disease Association.

The North West Motor Neurone Disease Association was set up to offer aid and support to patients of the disease. The foundation of the charity is to give preference to patients within the locality.
