Swim for Sunshine

At the end of August this year Jude will aim to become the youngest swimmer from Ireland to swim from Asia to Europe across the Hellespont - the oldest open water swim in the World. This is 4.5km sea swim - with no wetsuits allowed. All money raised is going to the Sunshine Foundation a charity set up to rescue children with special needs from the old institutional orphanages in Brasov. My mum and Jude’s Nanna led volunteers and supporters from Ireland and Romania to essentially build two facilities in the City saving dozens of children lives and delivering a massively enhanced future for these kids. Its an epic project which persuaded the Romanian authorities to copy the project across the region vastly increasing the positive outcomes. Post Covid the project has a dire need for additional support in order to keep the projects delivering this much need care. And yes the old guy is doing it with him :)
