Bird is also set to reappear on the late night programme following his billing last December where he announced the campaign. During the programme he bravely spoke of his battle with MND as well as his plans for the Croagh Patrick climb.
This Saturday morning, a host of family, friends and supporters will assemble to a hill or mountain to climb in their locality in solidarity with the famed broadcast producer. Bird will tune into the show live from Westport as he gets ready to make his ascent.
