Story

I'm taking part in the December Dip Challenge in aid of the National Maternity Hospital Foundation.

Many of you know I love sea swimming. I have never swam past October, but this year I intend to swim straight through into 2025☺️!

2024 saw our lovey family grow from 3 to 4 and we are so so greatful, happy and healthy. If it hadn’t been for the wonderful doctors and nurses in the NMH, I honestly don’t know where my little girl and I would be.

We had a 2.5 week NICU stay, which was incredibly difficult as a mammy. But I knew my little girl was in the best place she could be. By raising this money, I hope I can give back a little to the NMH.

This December, up to 750 babies will be born in the The National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street. I am taking a dip to help women and babies thrive, arrive & survive!

Thank you for your support!
