UPDATE: SWIM COMPLETE!

After weeks of waiting and wind monitoring the weather gods finally smiled on us. On Tuesday 15th August we set off across the bay and completed our swim. It was an incredible experience. Thank you all so much for the unbelievable support, we have been blown away by the amount raised and by the torrent of goodwill. 

Louise, Laura, Seán and Cian are braving the waters of Galway Bay to raise money for Cancer Care West. As part of Frances Thornton Memorial Galway Bay Swim 2023 our relay team hopes to swim from Aughinish, Co. Clare to Blackrock, Salthill. We'll cover 13km of open water, encountering wind, currents and wildlife (jellyfish!), on the way. 

Your support is massively appreciated for this cause that means so much to us. 

All funds raised here will go directly to Cancer Care West.

All donations are processed securely.
