Retired garda PJ Costello has proudly presented funds to two important charities following a birthday skydive.
PJ Costello, who is originally from Drumshanbo, has lived and worked in Moville since 1983.
On his 60th last month, he decided to use the occasion to do a once in a lifetime challenge and give back to charity.
PJ took on a parachute jump in October at the Wild Geese Flying Club in Derry for Cancer Care West Support Centre Donegal and St. John’s Hospital Patients Comfort Fund in Sligo.
“My sister is in long term care in St John’s Hospital Sligo so I thought it would be a nice gesture to do something for them and for the Cancer Care people in Letterkenny who do fantastic work,” PJ said.
PJ raised a fantastic €1,660 to be shared between the two charities. He visited the Cancer Care West Support Centre Donegal on Tuesday to present their share of the proceeds.
