In August, I’ll be plunging into cold water for the almost 1 in 2 Australians who will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85. 

Please donate to my challenge!

The funds I raise from my Daffodil Day Dip challenge will help power world-class cancer research to save lives.

The real Dip 1

Dip 1 of 20 completed on the 1st of August. This dip was especially symbolic, in May 2025 my dad came to visit me in Australia and brought my mum’s ashes. I spread her ashes at the port Noarlunga beach while performing a ceremonial breathwork and somatic movement ritual. Today I moved through the sand and finished in the water to complete my first dip of the challenge. By the end of the challenge, I will be back on Lizzy’s beach in my home country of Ireland. Her ashes also lie there, and completing this ritual over there will bring us full circle. I’m left with an incredibly profound feeling of connectedness when I enter the water. The water here in Adelaide connects across the globe to the water in Ireland. Everything is connected, we are all one, limitless and boundless.
