Yesterday all of Transition Year took part in the Ian Daly Swim A Mile With A Smile. It was one of the highlights of the year so far :) Ian Daly was a local boy and my friend Eimear's brother. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour at a young age and after much fighting, unfortunately he died. He loved to swim so the Ian Daly Swim a Mile With a Smile was set up. It is a sponsored swim to raise money for Crumlin Children's Hospital where he was treated and Barretstown.
I swam a mile with my friend Niamh, and altogether us TYs managed to swim over 40 miles altogether, beating the previous record of 25 miles. We all did the best we could and it was a really enjoyable day for everyone. Hopefully we managed to get a lot of sponsorship too to help out :)
Thanks a lot to Brian and Laura Daly who do so much work to organise everything! We loved it :)
