Jack, Darragh and Paul from Clonakilty in County Cork have been roadtripping along the Wild Atlantic Way since last Sunday and they’ve been documenting every step of their journey on Twitter.
The expedition is all in aid of Pieta House, a non-profit organisation which provides specialised treatment to those who have suicidal ideation or who participate in self-harming.
The lads have been recording all the ups and downs of the trip so far including the last fry before they left their mammies…

All the while they’re raising awareness about mental health and suicide.

The thing to remember with @pietahouse is that it’s a ‘House’ the therapy rooms are homely and non-clinical. pic.twitter.com/L0vvVu5KIF
