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:
