38 pictures of Jumping for all our Jacks in Creggan Country Park in Derry

People as young as five braved the cold waters of Creggan Country Park to remember loved ones who have died by suicide.

The event, called Jumping for all Jacks, was organised by the family of Carnhill man Jack Edgar, who died just after Christmas last year. His family wanted to do something fun to give the young people affected by suicide a chance to enjoy themselves while raising money for the Inner City Assistance Team and Child and Adolescence Mental Health Service (CAMHS).
