KAREN O’MARA, organiser of the Portmarnock Christmas Swim talks to Conor Doyle about the 2014 event which will raise funds for St Francis Hospice in Raheny.
Portmarnock resident Billy Jesson passed away in the Raheny Hospice and this year his family and friends are pledging all funds raised by the swim to St Francis’s as a token of their appreciation for the great kindness and care that was shown to Billy in his last days.
The swim is an annual event that is a much loved and enjoyed element in the Portmarnock Christmas calendar. The sea is bracingly cold and the company warm and enjoyable.
