The Frances Thornton Memorial Swim is the biggest fundraiser for Cancer Care West raising over 300,000 euro since it started ten years ago. This year I will be swimming Galway Bay solo for the first time. In 2017 I swam the Bay as part of a three person relay, last year as a duo and its time now to go solo.
This challenging swim is worth the tears and jellyfish stings because it is the single biggest fundraiser for Cancer Care West. Cancer has affected so many people close to us. All the donations go directly to Cancer Care West. Please show your support by donating to my fundraising page or coming down to Blackrock on July 20th to cheer the swimmers in.
Huge congrats on the swim Orla! Huge achievement, well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Kate, Andy & Sadie
