Swim in Blue for Lukey

In memory of Luke Shea who we lost on the 7th of February 2023. This fundraising event for Pieta is in honor of Luke, who is dearly loved and holds a special place in all our hearts. The first swim took place with a sunrise on the 22nd March 2023, the day of Luke’s 21st birthday. On this day I decided to undertake 21 swims for each year of his life across every coastal county in Ireland. From Kerry to Donegal, Dublin, Waterford and everywhere along the way before finishing with a sunset swim on his 22nd birthday on 22/03/2024 in his home of County Clare.  Past swims:22/03- Quilty, Co.Clare 23/04- Salthill, Co.Galway 28/05- Garrettstown, Co.CorkUpcoming swims: 25/06- Ballybunion, Co.Kerry 02/07 - Keem Bay, Co.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. More information about Pieta: Pieta provides a professional one-to-one therapeutic service to people who are in suicidal distress, those who engage in self-harm, and those bereaved by suicide. We need help more than ever to support our free lifesaving work. We rely on the generosity of the public, whose donations and fundraising make up over 80% of our income. Sometimes it takes just one phone call, or one person who cares, to help someone begin to find their way back from suicide and feel safe. You can be that person.
