Cheque presented after Aran to Spiddal swim for breast cancer research

Four women have handed over a cheque to the National Breast Cancer Research Institute following a successful fundraiser earlier this year.

The women, Mná n dTonnta, took on a challenging marathon swim from Inis Mór on the Aran Islands to Spiddal in September to raise money for breast cancer research.

Not only did they complete the challenge safely, but they raised an incredible €8,230 for the Institute.

Attending the presentation to the charity recently at the Lambe Institute, were; Dr Heidi Annuk, swimmer Bridget Wing, Chairperson of the National Breast Cancer Research Institute, Caroline Loughnane, swimmer Bernagh Hynes and Hannah Ryman.
