A fundraiser has been organised in aid of the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust in memory of Eoin and Dylan Fitzpatrick.
Eoin and Dylan, father and son, lost their lives under tragic circumstances while holidaying abroad in Turkey recently.
They are deeply missed by family, friends and the wider community of Portlaoise.
The aim of this fundraiser is to raise funds for a trusted and reputable cause that has brought so much support to bereaved families across the island of Ireland.
Paul Kinahan, Larry Byrne and Cathal Browne, all from Portlaoise, are some of the people behind the fundraiser.
The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust aims to support bereaved families repatriating the bodies of loved ones back to Ireland who have died abroad in sudden or tragic circumstances.
They have been a fantastic support in getting Eoin and Dylan home
To show their gratitude for all the support, a group of family and friends will climb Ben Nevis on September 23.
Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain in the UK.
You can donate to the GoFundMe here, which has already raised well over €30,000.
