DIP@DUSK 2026

Raising Funds for Life-Changing Mental Health Support in Ireland

Help me raise funds as I DIP@DUSK for Grow Mental Health

I have chosen to raise funds by taking a dip during the longest days of the year. Why? Well, firstly I love the mental health benefits of a cold dip. When I am in the water, any worries or negative feelings melt away. My head is clear and I am connected to the sheer power of nature.

Secondly, I know the power of connecting and having fun with other people. Being with friends and family recharges my mental health battery.

Finally, Grow Mental Health is a charity that provides life-changing support to anyone in Ireland (over 18) dealing with mental health challenges. I know the effects work stress and life in general can have on my mental wellbeing. I am glad that Grow exists and want to make sure they can carry on providing and expand their network of free, inclusive, mental health peer support groups in communities all over Ireland and online.

Monday 8th Jun
My Viking Marathon Training is nearly complete, a few short runs left to do.  I have been most grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey.  I have found the cold water has really helped me with my recovery especially after the longer runs.

Thank you to my Sponsors
