Parachute Jump for Suicide Prevention

category tyrone | miscellaneous | press release author Wednesday July 26, 2006 16:36author by Ógra B - Ógra Shinn Féin Report this post to the editors

On behalf of West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin, Nuála Gormley will be taking part in a 13,000ft sponsored parachute jump.

The proceeds of the sponsorship will go towards the ‘Niamh Louise Foundation’, a suicide prevention and support group based in Tyrone and Armagh. Nuála will be taking part in the sponsored parachute jump as part of Ógra Shinn Fein’s National Suicide Prevention campaign.

To date the National campaign has resulted in thousands of information leaflets being distributed across Ireland, an online petition being established, letters being sent to Mary Harney, Paul Goggins and Bertie Ahern, a National Day of Action, and just this week, Ógra activist Cllr Cara McShane was part of a Sinn Féin delegation which met British direct rule minister Paul Goggins who is responsible for health in the North.

The sponsored parachute jump will take place on Sunday 6th August just outside Coleraine and to date Nuála has raised over £500 for charity. If you would like to contribute to the parachute jump or to the ‘Niamh Louise Foundation’ please send donations to:

fair play to sinn fein for having such a surrealist sense of humour, can't stop laughing.

Well done to the West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin's Nuála Gormley who will be jumping out of a plane at 13,000ft to prevent suicide prevention.

Can't believe a miserly £500 is all that has been raised for suicide prevention, but it speaks volumes, (I raise money for animal rights and I got 2,000) I would have thought your Chieftain (won't say Taoiseach as Mr. Adams has a big enough head already) would have given ye some petty cash from Sinn Féin's Treasure Chest for such a worthy cause.

By the way, Mary Harney doesn't give a fuck about suicide prevention or mental health patients, she's from Ballinasloe originally and the mental hospital there St. Brigid's (big house hidden far far away) is the worst in the country described as such by mental health inspectors and she couldn't give a fuck about it. Waste of your fuckin time sending letters to policitians North or South, East or West of Ireland they have deliberately turned their backs on mental illness and suicide prevention in this country for 85 years.

Good luck with jumping out of the plane, don't forget your parachute.

I wish the parachute jumpers well, and wonder if the timing has anything to do with World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th.

Here's some other Irish activities:

Ireland: Johnstown Therapy Centre, Dublin
Our Centre will be holding an open day on Sunday 10th Sept exhibiting information about suicide. We will also have psychotherapists/counsellors available throughout the day to talk to people who have been affected by suicide.

Ireland: The 3Ts (Turn the Tide of Suicide)
In Dublin, The 3Ts will host a Candlelight Vigil in the city centre to commemorate the many lives that have been lost in Ireland through Suicide both this year and in the past. The Vigil is open to all who have lost loved ones or who have been touched in some way by suicide. Key speakers will join the Vigil to mark the day with music, song, and a minutes silence. Venue: Bank of Ireland (Forecourt), College Green, Dublin 2 Time: 9.00pm - 10.00pm. email: 3ts@alburn.com
