Charlie Irwin’s skydive for charity

A LEAVInG Certificate student from Dundalk is fundraising to do a charity skydive for Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland (YSPI).

Charlie Irwin, aged 18, from the Demesne Road, Dundalk believes their work with schools across the country to be of “great importance”.

“I did a skydive for my 18th birthday with the Irish Parachute Club in Co offaly. It was a good experience,” said Charlie.

“A skydive is something worth doing even though I was definitely a bit nervous the first time around.

“I had to do a tandem jump the first time and the next skydive I do will also probably be a tandem dive as you have to do a lot of training to dive solo.”

Charlie added: “I found out about Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland more than a month ago. I was tagged in a post and saw the work that they are doing.

“I think it’s a great charity and they are doing very good work so I’d love to be able to help them fund their work.”

When Charlie has raised at least €600 (across multiple platforms) he plans to send all of the proceeds to YSPI.
