I am pledging to swim 5k over* August 10th to September 10th to raise funds for the Gaelic Woodland Project and create a new forest for Ireland.

I started volunteering with the GWP in March and have found so much community with them, tackling invasive species and learning of their vision to create an abundant woodland to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Great Famine. I see that as a really healing goal. Volunteering has also helped sooth some of my climate anxiety.

I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Simply click the Donate button above. You can also share my page using Share options below. This is a great way to show your support.

I will be sharing my swimming progress on instagram and facebook, swimming in pools for distance and the sea for conditioning and community! There is a group on facebook for those who are fundraising to encourage each other, so if you would also like to join the challenge, you can find us there.

To make things fun, I want to celebrate the little milestones.

I'm thinking, for donations over 30 euro I will film myself getting into the cold, cold sea all in one go (instead of my usual 15 minute process) and shout you out on instagram (@ Jennifer.Rowe.Creative )
