Aisling Foley is running in the New York City Half Marathon next month as a fundraiser for Kerry Mental Health Association.

Let's all be more active like Aisling. Run, jog, walk, swim, dance, take the stairs instead of the lift. It's one of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing - Connect | Be Active | Take Notice | Keep Learning | Give.

COMMUNITY spirit was the driving force behind the Kerry Mental Health Association’s campaign to purchase a “bus” for Ard Álainn Mental Health Day Centre, Ardmoniel, Killorglin.

Social isolation affects much of the population in South Kerry and the new ‘bus’ will facilitate increased social networking and easier access to mental health appointments.

Funds raised from multiple events contributed to the overall cost of the vehicle which was formally handed over to Kevin O’Leary, CNM2 on behalf of the staff and clients at Ard Álainn Day Centre.

The largest donor to the project was SMBC Global Foundation, part of JRI America’s (JRIA) parent company Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC).

Long-time volunteer with Kerry Mental Health Association and former All-Ireland winning Kerry Captain, Liam Hassett ran in the Dublin City Marathon and raised over €9,000 for the project.

The teachers and staff at Intermediate School Killorglin donated €1300 raised during the Halloween bake sale and Killorglin Student, Caitlin Reitveld’s Crazy Hair Day and Teddy Bears Picnic brought in around €900.

Tralee Rotary Club kindly donated €1000 from a choral recital last March while a number of local volunteers pedalled their way to raising €10,000 in Spinathons last May and August.
