Donegal group take Darkness Into Light to new heights!

written by Staff Writer May 7, 2022
Facebook0Tweet0LinkedIn0Print0

A group of Donegal people took the annual Darkness Into Light challenge to a new level this morning.

They are part of Jason Black’s latest expedition to Mt Everest Base Camp from where they watched sunrise.

“Today the Everest unseen team walked to the highest place on the planet in support of Darkness Into Light,” Mr Black posted on his Facebook page.

“There is not a family or friend or neighbour from our own communities across the globe that hasn’t been effect by the traumatic effects of suicide.

“The greatest gift we have as a human is to help another that’s struggling in life. From us all at Everest, you are in our thoughts today.”

Jennifer Doherty with Rosaleen Bradley of DCIL.

Brave Buncrana woman, Jennifer Doherty, is among those on the trek to Mount Everest.

Jennifer, who is blind from birth, is a disability advocate who proves there’s no stopping someone with a goal.

Her dream was to go to Mt Everest base camp, and so on the 27th of April, flew out to Kathmandu to join a trek with a group of intrepid local explorers.

Jennifer, as always, will be flying the flag for Donegal Centre for Independent Living and inspiring others to get out there and live their lives to the full.

Her adventure has been made possible through the DCIL Opportunity Fund.

The Donegal Centre for Independent Living is the leading provider of Personal Assistant services in Donegal and the organisation is enshrined by the philosophy of independent living.

‘Independent Living’ means that people with a disability want the same life opportunities and choices as everyone else.

With these values in mind, DCIL created the Opportunity Fund and set aside a sum of money with which to finance the fund for three years.

DCIL invites donations to ensure this fund can continue for years to come and enable others to realise their dreams and potential.

Jennifer Doherty is of the three awardees for the current distribution of the Opportunity Fund.

Jennifer has been receiving a Personal Assistant service from DCIL for fifteen years and has proved herself to be a young woman with a thirst for both adventure and independence.

The public can follow and support this challenge on the Donegal Centre for Independent Living Facebook page.
