As the December Dip 2023 approaches, I am excited to participate in this year's swimming event in aid of the NMH Foundation.

As an avid (summer) sea swimmer, I’ve decided to challenge myself to brave the cold and swim all throughout December this year. I’m aiming to go for a dip every Sunday in December, the most significant day for me being my 20th birthday - Christmas Eve!

The National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, is expecting up to 750 babies this December. It's a time of joy and hope for many families, but it can also be a time of uncertainty and worry. That's why I'm taking the plunge to help women and babies thrive, arrive & survive! With your support, we can make a difference in their lives.

The NMH Foundation provides essential support to mothers and babies during their stay at the hospital. From state-of-the-art equipment to emotional support services, they ensure that every family receives the care they need. But they can't do it alone. That's where we come in. By fundraising for this cause, we are helping to provide vital resources that will make a real impact on people's lives.

I'm setting a target of €250 for my fundraising efforts. With your help, I know we can reach this goal and make a meaningful contribution to the NMH Foundation. Every donation counts - no matter how big or small - so please consider supporting me in this important cause.
