Thank you for donations already  - no pressure at all!

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!
