Here at Ireland’s Classic Hits, we’re delighted to support Helplink with ‘Coldtober’ – their national, month-long, see swimming fundraiser challenge!
Coldtober is a fundraising event for the month of October; each day, people will be invited to join us in the month-long sea swimming fundraiser challenge to assist Helplink in getting one step closer to meeting their mission – to support children, young people and adults with their mental health.
Twenty different locations around Ireland will see participants going for a swim every day for the 31-day challenge in their local sea swimming area.
How you can get involved:
- Follow the journey on Helplink’s social media pages, tag them on Instagram @HelplinkMentalHealth or twitter @HelplinkMH and use the hashtag #Coldtober to join in.
- Register to take part in the challenge and receive your registration pack with goodies from the sponsors, including the Helplink/Coldtober Portwest beanie and the delicious, unique, Solaris Tea to warm you up after your sea swim!
And for those who would like to take part but are not near a sea swimming spot, you can take part by having a 30-second cold shower each day!
Registration is €30 and you can sign up here: https://buy.stripe.com/6oE2apd9bfbe0I8fYY or donate to the cause by clicking here: https://www.idonate.ie/event/3068_coldtober.html
