Jennifer in flight for disability awareness 15.09.14

BUNCRANA disability advocate Jennifer Doherty will take to the skies tomorrow for a sponsored flight in aid of the Donegal Centre for Independent Living.
Jennifer, who has been blind since birth and who uses an assistance dog, will join co-worker Shane Bradley for the flight near Belfast. The flight has been organised in association with Aerobility.
"She will fly the plane to help raise much needed funds and awareness of the Donegal Centre for Independent Living where she receives her support services," said a spokesperson.
"Disability Pride Group has teamed up with Aerobility to make this possible, in the lead-up to the disability pride event in Belfast."
Jennifer and Shane will take to the air at Newtownards Airfield, Co Down on Tuesday, September 16 at 1.30pm.
"We need all the support, sponsorship and publicity we can gain to help ensure this unique challenge is worth it. If you feel you could raise some sponsorship please contact DCIL on 0749128945 or message us for more details on how to get involved."
