Sean Twomey will climb a hill 200 times to raise funds for medical services and road safety in memory of the Irish family who died in a crash with a suicidal taxi driver in Devon in 2012. Elber Twomey, who lost her husband, son and unborn daughter in the crash, has campaigned tirelessly for road safety reform since, and set up the Twomey Remorial Weekend to raise money for good causes. The event, which has raised over €200,000 ($227,464), will run for the final time this year.

A relative of an Irish family who lost almost all their members in a car crash in Devon in 2012 is to scale a steep hill 200 times to raise funds for medical services and road safety improvements. Sean Twomey, whose cousin Elber Twomey’s husband, 16-month-old son and unborn child were killed in the crash caused by a suicidal driver, will make the climb dressed as a pirate. Twomey will donate the money raised to Torbay Hospital, which treated Elber after the accident. Elber Twomey, who led a campaign for road safety and awareness after the crash, has held the ‘Twomey Memorial Weekend’ every year for the past decade. The event, which last year raised €200,000 ($222,000) for good causes, will finish this year.
