Christmas Day Charity Swim

So as per usual I have left it an awful long time since I last wrote anything on here but I have been working on this one for Quite a while :) So basically what I am writing about is the Cope Galway Christmas Day Swim. For people who aren't aware of what Cope do, they are a Charity that help people who are homeless, elderly people or people who have been the victims of Domestic abuse. They rely solely on donations from people and lately people have become reluctant to donate money to Charity in Ireland, with good reason. But that doesn't mean that the people they help should suffer so I am trying my hardest to raise as much money as possible to help out. Every year Cope organises a Christmas Day swim which is really just where people jump of the diving boards in Galway and swim to the shore but it is a fun experience and a lot of people get helped out in the process. 

I have been trying to do this swim for years but something has always gotten in the way. My fathers family live in Donegal so for the last few years we have been spending Christmas up there so sadly I was away on Christmas day and couldn't take part. But this year I can :) Cope do some amazing work and help a lot of people. Everyone deserves to be happy and have a good life but unfortunately that isn't the case and that really makes me sad. I would love to be able to help everyone who needs it but unfortunately like everyone else there is only so much that I can do. But with the help of fundraisers Cope can help more people than I can and they will be able to make a lot of people very happy at Christmas and for years to come. Now I know  a lot of people are probably saying why the hell am I writing this and what is the point?

Well the answer is I am writing this to make people aware of what is happening and to inform people about Cope and their Service. And to ask people if they could sponsor me to do this swim, I have been collecting money from friends and family for the last few weeks but someone told me about the website idonate and that I could use that to try and raise more money so I created a page. Now I know a lot of people get annoyed when people come asking them to sponsor them for things. But I believe that this a very worthy cause and I would really appreciate anything that you people could do to help me help out this wonderful charity.
