Snámh Lough Derg
Myself & Rosie Foley are swimming from Portumna to Killaloe along the length of Lough Derg on June 21st. This will be a huge physical & mental test over 38km of open water.
I'm hoping to raise some money for a couple of charities off the back of my efforts. I've chosen 2 charities, Irish Water Safety & SOAR. Both these charities do very important work throughout the country & i hope my swim can help raise both awareness & funds for these 2 worthy causes.
Please support my efforts & take the time to learn some more about the great work both Irish Water Safety & SOAR do.
WATER SAFETY IRELAND is the statutory voluntary body established to promote water safety in Ireland.
Our focus is on Public Awareness and education. Tragically, an average of 124 people drown each year in Ireland. We feel that this is simply unacceptable considering that most fatalities are avoidable.
We strive to reduce these fatalities by increasing water safety awareness and by changing attitudes and behaviors so that our aquatic environments can be enjoyed with confidence and safety.
