A 16-year-old Laois man has launched a fundraiser on behalf of Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland.
Thomas Weight, who just turned 16 on April 2, will be doing a sky dive to raise funds.
Thomas says he will be sky diving on the first available appointment when the Covid-19 restrictions are lifted and the Irish Parachute Club reopens.
He said: “I am supporting this charity because there seems to be a lot of mental illness among young people.
“There has been a lot of suicides in the town and there does not seem to be enough support or help available.”
Thomas has raised €1,464 out of a goal of €2,020 with 96 people donating so far.

You can also text YSPI SFL5480 to 50300 to make an immediate €4.00 text donation.
Best of luck Thomas!
