Raising funds for Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF)

On Saturday the 22nd of October I completed a swim from Bantry to Glengarriff (~11km) in memory of my mom who passed away from oesophagus cancer in August, just six weeks after her diagnosis. My mom was super healthy and fit and loved tennis, walking, running, and particularly sea swimming so I felt that this was a fitting tribute. I hope that research will allow for better treatment options and earlier detection so that someone who recieves the same diagnosis in the future will have more hope. Thank you so so much if you have donated as it means the world to me. 

 

Huge thank you to everyone who has already donated, I am overwhelmed by the support I have recieved!! I am also very grateful to all of my friends and family that came out to support me on the day of the swim. It felt really special to be able to honour my mom in this way.
