My Story

WHAT:

I am delighted to support this amazing charity by taking part in #Coldtober and committing to a swim everyday in October, starting this Saturday, October 1st, in the Liffey at Carnalway just outside Kilcullen. Please support anyway you can by donating to me or someone else taking part. Or come join me and swim your way to feeling better!

WHY:
In February this year, I had the great privilege to swim at 9am, with June of @snamhaisasta in the sea at Spanish Point. It was a turning point for my mental health which had taken a beating after a challenging few years. The exhilaration and pure adrenaline of that cold water swim with a group of people exhibiting unbridled joy, changed something in me and I was so grateful for the experience of being part of something bigger than myself. Through this, more than anything else, I understood the importance of community to a mind feeling overloaded. 

All support welcome.
