Pub Quiz 4 Paddy 2024

It's been just over 5 years since we lost our good friend Paddy Sheridan.

We will be hosting a Pub Quiz on what would have been his 35th Birthday - Friday 27th December to have a good time and raise some money in his memory.

The event will take place at The Boneyard, Belfast and all money raised will go to NI Mental Health charity, Aware NI.

This skydive is part of a series of fundraisers we as a group of Paddy's friends are undertaking in the run-up to the Pub Quiz in December.

Skydive, Sunday 24th November

Obviously I don't want to skydive. I once got scared ascending a three story tower in Croatia. I was aged 24.

Our friend Pat was a one in a million. It would be the absolute best to be able to tell him about the skydive, and hear him chuckling away at the absurdity of it all.

Whilst we can't do that, we can keep his memory present, raise awareness of mental illness and support organisations like AWARE NI who do vital community support work across Northern Ireland (more details below).

I am fully covering the cost of the skydive as well as a photographer on the dive with me. So rest assured, not only will every penny of your donations be going to a good cause, you'll have photos of my sheer terror to look forward to.

Thank you so much for your donations.

I'm genuinely in shock that I've talked myself into doing this.
