Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
A 12-year-old Shannon girl is preparing to take on another extraordinary mountain challenge, this time with a mission to support Ireland’s volunteer rescuers.
Kaya Wisniewska, who recently became the youngest participant ever to complete the demanding Galtee Mountain Challenge, is now heading to Poland with her father Wojtek for a 21-day hiking expedition.
Together, they aim to complete one million steps through the Polish mountains while raising funds for Mountain Rescue Ireland.
Kaya and Wojtek joined Alan Morrissey to talk about the challenge, the preparation involved, and why they want to give back to those who help others in the mountains.
