Hi all,
I am again going to swim Galway Bay for Cancer Care West, this year I am trying something different in that I am swimming it in what is generally called "skins" - No not in my birthday suit that might scare the marine life away and Sea Shepard would be after me ( might make me swim faster)
This will be my first time attempting this distance in togs and training is underway and its not going to be easy managing the cold and jelly fish, but this is a worthy cause and I think a lot of people have been touched either directly or indirectly by Cancer and so makes fundraising for such facilities like Cancer Care West is vital to help those and their loved ones to get out of the other side with the best care.
If you feel you can donate to my fundraiser then great and as I have said before if not then that is ok as well , this is to at least raise awareness that these facilities exist and if there is one near you and this encourages you to think about donating to them then all the better for everyone.
