Swilly Sisters’ Shed hosts annual Swim in Pink fundraiser in Rathmullan

The Swilly Sisters’ Shed will hold its annual Swim in Pink fundraiser on Sunday 11 October in Rathmullan, supporting breast cancer research.

The event, part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aims to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Research Institute in Galway. Participants are asked to gather at the Pier building from 9.30 am, with the swim starting shortly afterwards.

DJ Mo will lead a warm‑up session before swimmers head to the beach. The first 50 registrants on the morning can purchase pink swim caps for €25 each. A bucket collection will be available for voluntary donations, and supporters may also contribute via the Swilly Sisters’ Shed iDonate page.

The swim is open to men and women of all ages; children under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. After the dip, a warm cuppa will be provided.

Organisers highlighted that one in seven Irish men and women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and that increased survival rates make fundraising crucial for ongoing research.
