Annual Foyle Hospice Christmas Day swim sign up now open

Are you ready to make a difference and give back to a worthy cause this Christmas?

Foyle Hospice is delighted to announce the return of the Annual Christmas Day Swim at Ludden Beach, Donegal on 25 December 2023 at 11am.

Local enthusiasts are already signing up to make a splash for Foyle Hospice this year.

The Christmas Day Swim has been an annual festive fundraising event that has become an integral part of the Foyle Hospice fundraising calendar, generating funds for specialist palliative care and support services for patients and their families. This event is a great way to support the Hospice while having fun and making your Christmas count.

Throughout the years, people of all ages have pledged an hour on Christmas morning and jumped, dived and swam in the icy waves of Donegal, and everyone at Foyle Hospice is excited to see so many people continuing their tradition along with those starting a new one by joining in this year.

Foyle Hospice’s Noel McMonagle said: “We will be joined by Father Christmas himself to start off the day with a quick dip in the Swilly and then enjoy a hot drink of choice.

“This is a fun way to kick start your Christmas Day and help raise funds for your local
Hospice, all monies raised will go to help provide end-of-life and palliative care in our
community.

“We want to give special thanks to McCay Solicitors who are sponsoring our event this
year, your support is much appreciated.”

The Annual Christmas day swim is the perfect family fundraising experience celebrating this season of goodwill while making a difference to your local Hospice. Let 2023 be the start of your new Christmas Day Swim Tradition.
