Sligo Family Skydive For IKA

Members of a Sligo family are planning to take to the skies to raise funds for the Sligo Branch of the Irish Kidney Association and North West Hospice.

Collooney natives Nikita, Ian, Chris and Katelyn White have organised a charity skydive for the two local organisations.

They will be flying high in memory of deceased family members, Granda Mick (Michael White) a dialysis patient who passed away on May 20th last year and Nana and Granda Michael and Margaret Philomena McKeon who died some years ago.

The skydive was due to take place in January but had to be postponed due to thick cloud. It will be held in Clonbur in County Offaly.

All donations will be split 50/50 between the Sligo branch of the Irish Kidney Association and the North West Hospice.
