ON the 21st of July
2018, adaptive adventurer, Nikki Bradley and
internationally acclaimed mountaineer, Iain Miller
will attempt to climb four of Ireland’s most iconic
mountains in less than 24 hours. This will be the
first time this has ever been attempted by a crutch
user.

after battling cancer (Ewing’s Sarcoma) in her teens
but has chosen to embrace her circumstances and
hopes to raise a substantial amount of money for

Nikki Bradley set to become first
crutch user in Ireland to climb 4 mountain peaks in
24 hours. |
Nikki regularly
participates in physical challenges as part of an
awareness campaign founded by the Donegal woman in
2013. ‘Fighting Fit For Ewing’s’ is a campaign
designed to highlight the importance of exercise for
rehabilitation while raising awareness for Ewing’s
Sarcoma. Some past challenges include; mountain and
rock climbing, scaling a route of
the Sólheimajökull glacier in Iceland and completing a
24km Special Forces march during winter conditions
in Wales.
The four peaks to be climbed are; Carrauntoohil in Kerry, followed by Croagh Patrick
in Mayo, Slieve Donard in Down and Mount Errigal in
Donegal.
The three charities chosen for this event are the
Irish Cancer Society, Action Cancer and the Ross
Nugent Foundation.
