Kerry mother of two set to for charity skydive to raise funds for mental health awareness
The mother of two girls – Sophie and Emma – has decided that she will donate all of the proceeds from her stomach churning jump to Kerry Mental Health Association. Donations to her fundraiser can be done through the link here: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/CarleyMickaStack11
So far, Carley has raised an impressive €3,605, far and above her original target amount of €500.
Carley, who works as a mental health staff nurse in Kerry, had this to say about the upcoming jump:
'I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Suicide has touched the lives of many families, including mine. Being Father's Day, it's fitting for many reasons, in particular having lost my own father to suicide. Let's get people talking and raise awareness. Every donation will make a difference and I'm encouraging everyone to please share my donation page to help us raise as much as possible.
"My husband Dawid and my daughter's Godfather, Oskar, have also decided to make the leap as well to support me or give me a push if needed!' she laughed.
Kerry Mental Health supports people in Kerry mental health challenges, their families and carers through befriending, funding community mental health educational and therapeutic activities.
The General Manager of Kerry Mental Health Association, John Drummey, said:
"We are grateful to Carley for nominating Kerry Mental Health Association for her skydive on Father's Day. Every donation made will contribute to improving the mental health services available in Kerry, making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by mental health issues.
"This Father's Day, join Carley and her family in their mission to foster a supportive community for mental health awareness and recovery.'

"I have no ass!" she exclaimed. "Look at her!" Advertisement She then asked for recommendations for "jeans that give you an ass". Sophie added that she's bought two pairs of jeans from online retailer Halara that are on the way, but she doesn't know if they'll even fit. As she modelled her current jeans, in a size 12, she pulled at the denim round the bottom and thighs to show that there's very little filling it out. "So yeah any advice guys, because I've got no ass," she laughed. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous People in the comments were quick to offer their advice, with one writing: "Tesco jeans & River Island always work wonders for me!" "I LOVE River Island jeans!" Sophie replied. I'm on Mounjaro & having a kebab for dinner left me bedbound for 24 hours - but I'm trolled for not eating healthily "Think I'm going to have a nosey on Vinted for some - thanks babe!" "Next do lift & shape jeans," another said. Advertisement As a third recommended the "ASOS bum lift contour jeans". "Have you tried Tesco ones? They're super comfy!" someone else wrote. With Sophie responding: "Noooo I never go to the clothes section other than for the kids. "Will have to have a nosey!" Advertisement What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. While Sophie has done incredibly well on her Mounjaro journey to date, her weight loss hasn't come without criticism. And Others have accused her of "taking the easy way" of losing weight, while some say she'll "put it all back on". "Don't lose anymore, you'll look ill!" is another one she's heard.
