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.

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

The why !

Friday 7th Nov
Anyone who knows me, know the water is my happy place & to be honest I don’t need any encouragement to get in the water anywhere, anytime. Therefore I don’t normally ask for sponsorship to do something I love . 
I have recently started working for the Irish Heart Foundation & am blown away by the amazing work they do, with support, education and advise for all to try and reduce the staggering statistics of Cardiovascular Disease here in Ireland. 
I am now proudly asking for sponsorship no matter how small an amount to help increase the number of healthy happy hearts 💜💜💜 

Thank you to my Sponsors
