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.

Dip #6

Wednesday 17th Dec
DIP #6 Secret location close to Co. Galway. (Mayo For Sam!) 7c air temp, ice cold water at 2c. Todays theme was Gilly McLaughlan an AFL host, kind of an inside joke (excuse my terrible Aussie / Cockney accent). The Lough gets fairly deep quickly so I hope you enjoy the little swim, I promise i do them in half of these dips and was frozen afterwards. Thanks to those who have donated so far and if you can every little helps. Please share the posts to spread the campaign and thankyou for all Support!

DIP #5 Blackrock, Salthill, Co. Galway. 11c air temp (supposedly), rough waters at 4c (again very cold) todays theme was ugly pyjamas and my little elf wanted cheered me on the entire time. The dip was followed prior and after by terrential rain that i nearly counted in the 12 dips 🤣. Thanks to those who have donated so far and if you can every little helps. Please share the posts to spread the campaign and thankyou for all support.

Dip #4

Monday 8th Dec
DIP #4 Lough Derg, Portumna, Co. Galway. 3c air temp and ice cold water in Lough Derg, todays theme was Jester and my little elf wanted to join in. The point I entered the Lough was incredibly deep so i had to use the swim bouy, had a quick paddle but was cold to the core. Thanks to those who have donated so far and if you can every little helps. Please share the posts to spread the campaign and thankyou for all support.
