Niamh & Carla

Halfway There – Thank You for Swimming Alongside Us!

When we signed up for the Samaritans 24/7 Challenge, we knew swimming 24 km in 24 days would be a challenge. What we didn’t expect was the incredible wave of kindness, encouragement, and generosity that has come our way.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has sponsored us so far. We are truly overwhelmed by your support. Every donation, every message of encouragement, and every share of our fundraiser reminds us why we’re doing this. Your belief in us keeps us motivated to get back into the pool or sea every day.

Our challenge runs from 1st July to 24th July, and we’re delighted to share a progress update!

As of 12th July:

● Carla has completed  14.5 km

●  Niamh has completed 11.5 km

We’re making great progress towards our goal of swimming 24 km each, all in support of the incredible work the Samaritans do, providing a listening ear 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to anyone who needs it.

There are still plenty of lengths ahead, but knowing we have such amazing support behind us gives us the determination to keep going. Whether you’ve donated, cheered us on, or shared our challenge with others, you’re part of this journey too.

We’ll keep you updated as we continue to tick off the kilometres, and we can’t wait to let you know when we’ve reached our 24 km goal!

Thank you for believing in us and for supporting such an important cause. Every stroke is for the Samaritans—and for everyone who may need their support.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our 24-Day Swim Challenge for Samaritans. We are almost halfway through the challenge, and we are so grateful for the incredible generosity you’ve shown. Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a real difference and keeps us motivated to keep swimming.

We’re continuing our challenge right through to 24 July, and we’ll be sharing regular updates on our swims along the way. Be sure to keep an eye on our page to follow our progress!

If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, there’s still plenty of time. Every contribution will help Samaritans continue to provide vital support to people who need someone to listen.

Thank you again for your kindness, encouragement, and generosity. We couldn’t do this without your support!
