***Thank you all so much for the donations TeamDamo has recieved already. Local giving.com have kindly said they will match up to £500 worth of donations (max £100 per donation) between the 15th-28th September***
We are doing the skydive in memory of Damian Maguire a loving son, brother and boyfriend, who died on 12th January 2015 by suicide.
Team Damo comprises his mum, sisters Claire and Catherine, his brother Joe, his girlfriend Kathy and their good friend Fergal Corrigan.
We are grateful to the Aisling Centre for the support given to us following the sudden death of Damian. We want to highlight the lack of resources for mental health, especially among young males.
We care about this charity and this cause because we have witnessed at first hand the need for increased support for young people who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts.
We want to raise awareness about the increasing number of suicides in the local area and the need to provide support to young people and to those coming to terms with the loss of a loved one to suicide. It is a cold and lonely way to die and young people need to know they can talk and there are those who will listen.
The money will be donated to the Aisling Centre to be spent on providing support and counselling services for those with mental health issues, suicidal thoughts and for those coping with the aftermath of losing a loved one to suicide. It will provide counsellors, support workers and help maintain this worthy charity. Supporters will see the difference immediately as such local charities depend on donations for survival.
Depending on the amount of money raised the charity may be able to provide additional services within the local community.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my LocalGiving page. Donating through LocalGiving is simple and secure. Your details are safe and once you donate the money will be sent directly to the charity. Thank you for your support.
