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.

Thank you

Thank you so much to everyone who donated, shared, liked and messaged over the last few weeks. I will never be able to express how grateful I am. This charity meant so much to my Granny and being able to fundraise over €800 in her memory is one my greatest achievements in life. Every freezing moment in the water I was reminded of her strength, courage, intelligence and grace. She truly has left such a lasting impact on me and I only wish I become half the woman she was. This one is for her. ❤️‍🩹

Target adjustment

Monday 3rd Nov
After just a few hours of sharing I have already hit my initial target of €150. I never thought I’d even reach that amount but I have now adjusted my target to €400. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared so far. My first swim will be the 1st December! 🥶❤️ 

12 Dips in December

Monday 3rd Nov
Hey everyone,

I am fundraising money for the Irish Heart Foundation, a charity that is extremely close to my own heart. For those of you who don’t know my own Grandmother suffered with ill health related to heart disease for many years and raised money for this charity herself. I love a good cold plunge during the summer months so I thought I’d challenge myself to the 12 Dips in December and help raise funds in memory of my beautiful Grandmother, Moira. Please feel free to share or donate to this page and anything is so appreciated! 

Le ghrá,
Mikaela x
