Help Protect Hearts in Ireland

This December, I’m doing 12 icy dips to raise money for the Irish Heart Foundation — because nothing says “I care about heart health” like giving myself a small heart attack every morning. ❄️😂

The Foundation does serious and incredible work helping prevent heart disease and stroke and supporting families across Ireland.

Your donation helps them — and helps me pretend this wasn’t a terrible idea.

Thanks for visiting and for supporting both hearts and hypothermia! ❤️😅

12 dips done. Challenge complete. I survived 12 Dips in December including cramming the last three dips into yesterday, because why not finish the year completely frozen? Huge thanks to everyone who donated and supported. Happy New Year, and thank you for helping the Irish Heart Foundation protect hearts across Ireland. ❄️❤️🎉

Recovery day was yesterday. The body thawed, circulation returned, and confidence crept back in. Today, the memory of cold remains sharp. The calm between dips is deceptive — the next plunge is already waiting. ❄️😅
