RoofWright Managing Director Dave Blakeman is getting ready to undertake a sea swim for
charity in the summer.
Along with a group of friends the team will swim 10 kilometers around the Galley Head
peninsula in aid of Marymount University Hospital and Hospice and West Cork
Underwater Search and Rescue.
The Galley Head Swim starts at Red Strand and ends at the Warren Beach in scenic West
Cork with the highlight being the swim around the imposing Galley Head peninsula and its
famous lighthouse.
Speaking about the challenge Dave said, “I am passionate about swimming, and especially in
the sea. It is something I can do regularly and putting my hobby and the enjoyment I get
from it towards raising money for a worthy cause is something I have wanted to do for some
time”.
“We are hoping to raise a good amount for these worthy causes, and I look forward to
updating you all on how the training is going, and then the swim itself in July”.
For anybody who might like to donate, Dave and his fellow swimmers have a just giving
