Darragh Coffey will be among a group of hardy souls who are set to swim unaided from Lambay Island to Rush Harbour - all for a good cause.

The group will be covering the 4.5km of open sea in aid of kidney research at Beaumont Hospital.

Darragh and his colleages have already received a number of donations via bank transfer and the old reliable sponsorship card. 

Anyone else interested in making a contribution can contact Darragh at [email protected] for details.
