Dan’s leap of faith for Kerry charity

Leap of faith: an O’Donoghue on his skydive with his guide

Grandad Dan O’Donoghue has successfully completed his skydive from 10,000 feet for Kerry Mental Health Association.

Following a lengthy weather delay, the 65-year-old, who is originally from Valentia Island, made his tandem leap with the Irish Parachute Club in Co Offaly on Saturday evening.

Mission accomplished: Dan with a certificate confirming that he completed the task

He has raised nearly €11,000 so far to help fund the roll out of free and affordable mental health first aid training in Kerry.

Dan, from Tralee, says he’s delighted with the outcome and grateful for the support.

The donation link will remain open at www.kerrymentalhealth.ie until the end of May.
