Over the past 14 months, we've had to get a bit more creative with how we raise money for good causes. This time last year Mairead spoke to Niall O'Carroll about a virtual event he had started, and it was so successful he's back for a second year.

Niall started the 100K in 30 Days challenge to raise money for Breast Cancer Ireland after his wife Cara was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019.

More than 15,000 people took part across 34 countries, and together they raised €1.2 million!

To take part in this year's event, head over to 100kin30days.ie to register, and then walk, run or crawl 100km in the month of June for Breast Cancer Ireland.
