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.

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 Darrah at [email protected] for details.
