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.

I lost my Godfather in 2014 to a sudden heart attack and I am sure many of you reading this have lost loved ones to heart disease, strokes or other similar situations. The Irish Heart Foundation does spectacular work and that is what inspired me to get involved this year!

Your donation big or small will make a real difference to people and families affected by heart disease and stroke. If you are not in the position to donate then simply sharing this with those around you or possibly getting involved this year or next could raise the funds to make a sincere difference in another family’s situation ❤️

Thank you for visiting my page and for your support.

Dippy December

Thursday 4th Dec
The water is nowhere near as cold as expected so my 12 dips of December are well and truly under way! A thermal top was worn for the first bout but we can leave a few layers behind for the next! ❤️ Thank you to everyone who had donated so far, your support goes to supporting so many lives ❤️❤️

Goal Surpassed!

Monday 17th Nov
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, together we passed the original goal of €300! I have upped the fundraising goal to 400 because we still have some time to go before the swims ❤️ Thank you!

Ready for the challenge!

Tuesday 11th Nov
Today kick starts my preparation for the 12 Dips in December challenge! Thank you to the Irish Heart Foundation for the beanie to keep me even the slightest bit warm during my icy swims!

Thank you to my Sponsors
