Not only did a local group take to the skies for a fun, exciting and challenging event - but also managed to raise €1,500 for a very worthy charity.
The group, ‘The Eagles Skydiving Club’ from The Lake Hotel, decided to take the 10,000ft leap and felt the 200km blast of wind, as part of a sponsored parachute jump in aid of Kerry Mountain Rescue.
As a resident of Killarney, I have witnessed first-hand the amazing work of the Kerry Mountain Rescue Team, Dermot Mc Gucin, who organised the sky dive explained.
“I’m delighted with the amount raised. It really is a fantastic service for Killarney and the wider Kerry area.”
He says he’s now organising another sky dive on April 27 which will go ahead depending on weather conditions.
“We already have participants from Kerry Coaches signed up but we’re looking for more volunteers.”
Anyone who is interested can contact Dermot by email: theeaglesskydive4@gmail.com or phone him on 083 3857290.
