Ireland is a country that is fantastic at fundraising. Seriously, it’s this nation’s niche. From street collections to Denim Days, coffee mornings to pub quizzes, mini-marathons to gala balls, somehow the Irish find a way to take a nice act of charity and turn it into a social event that gives back. And I would say medical fundraising is the specialty. All it takes is a brief mention of a family having a hard time on the nightly news and the next morning’s news carries details of the family’s new fundraising bank account to which donations can be made. And donations ARE made. That’s the part that gets me every time.
But amongst all the tales of fundraising fun, I have a new favourite: The ‘dip in the nip’ that took place in Co. Sligo. Well done ladies, well done.
(My favourite part? They went in at low tide!)
I absolutely love the idea, the bravery and the article. Fair play to those ladies!
That’s fantastic!
