12 Dips in December 2025 - Supported by Daybreak

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.


This year I began sea swimming in Donabate to help manage my chronic pain, and I had no idea just how much I would fall in love with it. The cold water is the only place I feel completely free from pain, and the community I’ve met along the way has been incredible—kind, like-minded people who share the same love for the sea, nature, and those beautiful sunrise photos in our group chat.


Taking on 12 Dips in December is my way of celebrating a new hobby that has made such a positive impact on my health and wellbeing. With my own heart considerations and a family history of heart issues, raising funds for the Irish Heart Foundation felt like the perfect cause.


Here’s to cold waves, warm community, and dipping for a healthier future!
