Help Protect Hearts in Ireland

I am taking part in 12 Dips in December to raise funds for the Irish Heart Foundation and I’d love your support to help protect hearts in Ireland. ❤️

The Irish Heart Foundation’s mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.

Your donation will make a real difference to people and families affected by heart disease and stroke.

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

Swim 9 was great this morning. The tide was extremely low and the wind would skin you. But it was fun. Stay safe and if in doubt stay out. 🥶❄️🌊♥️

Great to get a swim this morning for the Irish Heart Foundation. Having issues with my heart has really changed my life. I will never take my energy levels for granted again.

Really enjoyed my swim in Wicklow Harbour this morning. The sea was baltic. But it's all fun and for a great cause. Please donate a few €€€ to help me get to my target.

I've had 3 cardioversions over the last few months and they were unsuccessful. I'm facing more consultations before a final decision about surgery. In the meantime I'm turning my swims into funds for the Irish Heart Foundation 

Thank you to my Sponsors
