Swimmers tackle Bray to Greystones for Gavin fund

-

A GROUP of swimmers recently made their way from Naylor’s Cove in Bray to the Cove in Greystones, raising almost €4,000 for the Gavin Glynn Foundation. They almost doubled their fundraisin­g target of €2,000.

The swim was inspired by Ger Devin’s Channel swim in September, in aid of the same cause.

In honour of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and inspired by Ger’s chal- lenge, a local group decided to tackle a Cove to Cove swim from Bray to Greystones. Money raised will go directly towards transporta­tion, including flights, car hire and ground transport, for children and families travelling for treatment.

The fund will also provide transporta­tion to and from airports, and accommodat­ion to medical centres.

Food and living expenses for the dura- tion of the child’s treatment while abroad are provided by the foundation, as well as a travel pack to include toys for the child and siblings travelling.

Donations remain open at idonate.ie.
