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...

They even got tattoos of the Wild Atlantic Way symbol to commemorate the occasion!
Well, talk about dedication to the cause. Mammy will have our heads for this. #Inked #WildAtlanticWay pic.twitter.com/FjZxJhulCI

As expected, their mammies weren't too happy about this!

They're currently in Mayo and are about two thirds through their adventure along the west coast.

All the while they're raising awareness about mental health and suicide.
We'd like to thank Catriona in @PietaHouse Tralee for having us today. They do incredible work. #wildatlanticway pic.twitter.com/aQQY1RRixv

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