On Saturday, July 22 I will be taking part in the 10k Galley Head Swim in aid of Marymount University Hospital & Hospice, CoAction West Cork & Cancer Connect. All funds raised here will go directly to these great causes. The swim is a challenging one that begins off Red Strand before turning west around the iconic Galley Head Lighthouse.
