WHEN FALCONS FLY
"When Falcons Fly is a great story about people overcoming and believing they can make a difference, something our board believes our foundation can do. It's also about having a dream and believing in that dream. This is what our kids need today, to believe in themselves and have a vision and strive for that vision no matter what the obstacles." - Ginny Dennehy

FRIENDS & FAMILY

This personal "F" stands for Family. It was Kelty's way of saluting people that were close to him... friends or family... as part of his family. Depression and teenage suicide has a dramatic effect on families. Depression affects family, friends and communities.

Ginny and Kerry Dennehy are committed to sharing their experiences in a positive way to help other families, their friends and communities. Read Kelty's poignant story as told by his father, Kerry.
