"Making Waves for Jo" is a fundraiser in memory of Jo English, a remarkable woman whose radiant smile, boundless energy, unwavering care for those around her, and her love for the sea inspired everyone who knew her.

Jo tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer in April 2024, just eight weeks after her diagnosis.

To honour her incredible spirit, we’re hosting a special sea dip on Saturday, 12th April 2025, at 4 pm at her favourite beach, Cuskinny in Cobh, Co. Cork. This event will celebrate Jo’s adventurous nature, her love for the ocean, and the joy she brought to so many lives.

Who We’re Supporting:

All funds raised will go to two organizations close to Jo’s heart:

Marymount Hospice offers compassionate end-of-life care to individuals and families during their most difficult moments. They provided extraordinary care for Jo and her loved ones, and their work depends on the generosity of people like you.

RNLI provides essential search-and-rescue services, saving lives at sea—work that Jo, with her deep love for the ocean, was deeply passionate about. Their crews rely heavily on donations to keep their boats equipped and ready to respond to emergencies.

How You Can Help:

Whether you’d like to join us on the day for the sea dip or simply donate to the cause, your support means the world.

By giving, you’ll help the RNLI continue saving lives and Marymount Hospice provide dignity and care to those in need.

Donate Today:

We would be so grateful if you could donate to these two worthy causes. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference.

Let’s come together to honour Jo, celebrate her incredible legacy, and support these vital causes.

Thank you for helping us make waves in her memory.

With Gratitude,

Jo' Family
