Swim a mile with a smile :)

Hey there!

               Im sorry i haven't written a blog in a while, TY has started ta get even busier than before! With new projects and even more new deadlines, its hard ta squeeze writing a blog into free time! Today im going ta tell ya a little bit about our trip to the Aquatic Centre for Swim a Mile.
               On Friday the 19th April, every TY and LCVP student who wanted to participate in swim a mile with a smile made their way to the Aquatic Centre. Overall, we swam a total of 26 miles altogether :) I swam a mile with Emma and Clíodhna, then went for the second mile with Orlaith, Alanna, Róisín and Eilise! 
               Swim a mile with a smile is organised every year by the Daly family. It is in aid of their son Ian Daly who died of cancer. The raised money goes to Barretstown and Crumlin Children's hospital every year. These are brilliant causes! Each of these charities helped Ian immensely in his last days, and so we are helping to give back to them what they did for Ian. If any of ye wish to donate, you can do so on this  website : How to donate to Swim a Mile.
                                                     Thanks lads, talk to ye soon!
