We are delighted to announce that Swim Ireland\u2019s Swim for A Mile has selected Children\u2019s Health Foundation as it\u2019s charity partner for the 2024 challenge. Children\u2019s Health Foundation was created in 2019, with the mission of \u201cworking together to provide world-class facilities, research and compassionate, loving care for every sick child in Ireland\u201d. This mission has been supported by SFAM over the past 3 years.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Swim for a Mile aimed to raise \u20ac10,000 across 11 events. With huge thanks to everyone who donated, we managed to smash that target and raised over \u20ac15,200 for Children\u2019s Health Foundation. This year we are looking to set the bar even higher. With over 15 SFAM events planned for across the country, we are aiming to raise \u20ac20,000, for Children\u2019s Health Foundation, in 2024. Swim Ireland\/SFAM will personally contribute \u20ac5,000 to this great cause.<\/p>\n

Swim for a Mile has not only managed to raise vital funds for Children\u2019s Health Foundation, but we also work hard to highlight the stories and hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Super Star Sam<\/a> touched the heart of many SFAMers in 2023. His story is one of many. An inspiration to all. We encourage everyone to read Sam\u2019s story, as it highlights the wonderful person that he is and the incredible work that Children\u2019s Health Foundation support.<\/p>\n

Across Children\u2019s Health Ireland at Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght and Connolly, children and young people are receiving treatment at their bedside, others are being wheeled into theatre for life-saving operations or being cared for around the clock in Intensive Care. Children\u2019s Health Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in Children’s Health Ireland hospitals and urgent care centres \u2013 from funding vital life-saving equipment and providing essential patient and parental supports to making ground-breaking, paediatric research possible. We can find no better cause to support than that of Children\u2019s Health Foundation.<\/p>\n

So how can you donate? SFAM is already up and running for 2024. To find an event near you, you can sign up<\/a> and donate a specified amount or, if you are up for it, you can create your own campaign to share with family and friends. Either way, we ask you to share this incredible cause by telling everyone you know about SFAM 2024.\u00a0 Swimming a mile is always more fun with friends and family beside you in the pool, to push you all the way! If you are not up for swimming the mile this time round, we ask you to please share our donation page.<\/a><\/p>\n

We look forward to seeing you in 2024 as we aim to smash that target once again!<\/p>\n
