Niall ‘Bressie’ Breslin will lead a charity expedition of epic proportions into Killarney in September to raise mental health awareness.

‘The Rising’ fundraising challenge will take place on September 8 to 15.

The 2024 fundraising challenge consists of a 320 km kayak of the Shannon, followed by a 120 km cycle from Limerick to Killarney, and culminating in a climb up Ireland's highest peak, Carrauntoohil.

It is organised by A Lust For Life which raises vital funds for early prevention mental health educational programmes.

“The Rising is more than just a physical challenge, It’s a journey of endurance, hope, and community. It is an acknowledgement of the heartbreaking challenge families endure in Ireland trying to access support for their children when faced with a mental health crisis,” said Bressie.

“It is a rallying cry to rise up and do something about it.”

There were celebrations at Raheen National School this week as SNA Gráinne Lenihan presented a cheque for €5,302.23 to Principal Joan Mullane, the proceeds from her recent skydiving fundraiser in aid of the school.

Gráinne organised the ‘Her Health, Her Power’ initiative last July, which culminated in her completing a skydive in August to raise funds for Raheen NS. The money will go towards the development of the school pitch and a new perimeter race track for the entire Raheen community.
Pictured at the presentation were members of the parents’ committee Joan Bowler, Máire O’Leary, and Ann Marie Donovan, along with school staff Norrissa O’Donoghue, Conor Coffey, Linda Farrell, and Mark Egan, joined by the delighted students of Raheen NS.
