Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iDonate.ie I'm taking part in Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim 2022. 

The Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim is a charity swim event held in July each year.  The swim from Aughinish in Co. Clare to Blackrock Diving Tower in Salthill (approx 13km) is one of the longest (and friendliest) open water swims in Ireland and is the only bay swim crossing on the Wild Atlantic Way.   

All swimmers are asked to raise funds for our charity partner Cancer Care West.   It is run by a volunteer committee which includes members of the Thornton family.   A documentary video which captures the essence of the Galway Bay Swim and where the fundraising goes is available on YouTube:
