Barking Mad for Parkinsons

“Barking Mad for Parkinsons”

We are asking ourselves if we are barking mad for doing this Tandem Skydive with The Irish Parachute Club and the answer is probably YES! (And trust us, those who know us won't argue otherwise! ) but the reason behind us raising the funds is extremely close to all our hearts. ♥

There is four of us doing this from two familes, the Kelly's and Sweeney's!

One of our "barking mad" family members, who's joining the jump, has Parkinson's. She's on a mission to show the world that she may have Parkinson's, but Parkinson's sure doesn't have her!

On the 8th of October, the FOUR of us are taking a dive from 10,000 feet up in the sky to raise as much money as we can for the pawsitively wonderful folks at Dogs for Disabled and the inquisitive minds studying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease at the Dublin Neurological Institute! Check them both here: https://dogsfordisabled.ie/ and https://neurologicalinstitute.ie/freezing-of-gait-in-parkinsons-disease-study/- Dublin Neurological Institute. Due to an overwhelming response, we have raised the bar and are now targeting €10,000!!

Dogs for Disabled have been part of some incredible research projects, training dogs especially for people living with Parkinson's. We're on a mission to raise funds so that more people with Parkinson's can benefit from this amazing opportunity. They're all about making a positive impact on the lives of those they serve, helping people with disabilities live life to the fullest, breaking down barriers, boosting confidence, and reducing stress levels.

Please come and either join us or support us and share with friends, family, colleagues, dogs and your social network on this GoFundMe Page and we also have the old-fashioned cards for anyone afraid of an online payment!!

Let's make this leap of faith count, together! ✨
