Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving.com page.

What am I doing and why am I doing it?

It's quite simple. I am taking part in a Christmas Day swim off Lisfannon Beach (Co. Donegal) on Christmas morning 2011... it's going to be cold!!!!!

The reason I am doing it is because someone very close to me was diagnosed with ME almost 30 years ago. I know all to well how ME can impact upon the life of the sufferer, their family and their friends.

The person I am doing this for has had to endure a life of hardship and in the last 18 months they were forced to leave a profession that they absolutely adored.

I hope that the money I raise will help others with ME, raise awareness of the condition and hopefully go towards helping to find a cure someday.

Thanks again and as much as it pains me to say it... Happy Christmas.

Andrew
