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:
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.'
