The Swilly Sisters Shed will hold their annual Swim in Pink this coming Sunday for Breast Care Month.
All proceeds raised at the event on Rathmullan Beach will go towards the National Breast Cancer Research Institute in Galway.
Currently 1 in 7 Irish women and men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but thankfully more people are surviving a cancer diagnosis than ever before.
A spokesperson for the event has said: “Our funding will make a huge difference to cancer research – hopefully we will see you there.”
Anyone taking part is to assemble at the Pier building for 9.30am with the swim taking place shortly thereafter.
DJ Mo will also be on hand to lead the troupe with warm up exercises and prepare for the swim.
Pink Swim Caps will be available for the first 50 registered that morning for €25 each.
A bucket collection will take place for voluntary donations, or support the IDonate page which can be found on Swilly Sisters Shed Facebook.
Everyone is welcome – men, women, and all ages, though under 12’s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
Dippers and casual swimmers all welcome too.
The spokesperson continued: “So get the pink outfit on and enjoy the craic, raising money for a great cause, with a warm cuppa after the dip – the more the merrier!”
