Thank you for visiting my fundraising

I’m taking part in the Cold Swim for Women this St Brigid's Day to raise much needed funds for Women’s Aid.

Across Ireland one in four women live with suffocating abuse from someone they once loved; someone they once trusted. Every 5 minutes, someone reaches out to Women’s Aid for information and support.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little, anything helps. I hope you can support me by donating whatever you can. By supporting Women’s Aid you can change lives and save lives.

Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely. You can also share my page using Share options above. This is a great way to show your support.

Thanks so much for your support, it will bring hope, healing and the possibility of a brighter future for women and children.

What’s possible

Monday 3rd Feb
I did not think it was possible for me to leap into a roiling grey ocean on Feb 1 ( even as  my husband assured me in Ireland it was the actual first day of spring but not in the UK)
This didn’t seem to make me feel any more relieved to know spring had officially begun ! But when my pal arrived we were both giddy with nervousness and heightened energy… and we both loved the swim … my friend is made of fabulous stuff !… she didn’t complain about the strange tingling numbness in her hands or her bottom… why did my bottom get so numb?🤣
It was our joyous sense of camaraderie and exhilaration that made me feel more is achievable together. I also noted the gentle support from my husband and cousin … they were there to support us in the despicable cause…..  taking photos … and just being there !
Increasing their awareness hopefully of what is unacceptable male behavior !
Thanks to all our friends who donated their cash !

Thank you to my Sponsors
