I'm dipping in cold water every day in March for St Wilfrid's Hospice
Throughout the whole of March, I'll be taking a cold plunge in the sea, an ice bath, a pool or a cold shower, every single day to raise vital funds for St Wilfrid's Hospice. I would be so grateful for any donation, big or small, that you can give to help me reach my target.
St Wilfrid's Hospice provides high-quality care and support for people across Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield, Healthfield, and all points between, with life-limiting illnesses. Support is offered at the hospice, in patients' own homes, and in care homes. Over 70% of the funds to provide these services come from voluntary donations. Please help me continue to support this cause.

Days 20, 21 and 22
Sunday 22nd Mar Cold showers each day as I have been sneezing and been stuffy full of cold. Looking to be back in the sea tomorrow. Share
Day 18 and 19
Sunday 22nd Mar 18th back in the sea, becoming my happy place, quite strong waves, breaking near the shore, sat on the beach in the surf but the breaking waves were sending us all over the place so I watched the waves and got in a bit further for a “proper” dip. I knew I would be having a cold shower on the 19th as was going out for the day. However during the day I started coming down with a cold. Share
Day 16 & 17
Sunday 22nd Mar Day 16 Lovely swim on Monday with the Plungers, was planning a cold shower on Tuesday 17th as was going out for the day, but plans changed so I booked a sauna at Luna Hut and went for a cold plunge in their bath plus a cold shower after the sauna. Bonus was a beautiful day on the beach also celebrating receiving over £400 in donations of support for the hospice. Share
Days 14 & 15
Sunday 15th Mar Beautiful sunny days, on the 14th the sea was fairly calm but more waves on 15th. It makes such a difference when the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Share
Days 9 - 13
Friday 13th Mar Day 9 I was unable to go in the sea with the Plungers on Monday due to an appointment, so I had a cold shower. On day 10, Tuesday I got to the sea, not quite as foggy as Monday and the sea was calm.
Days 6,7 & 8
Sunday 8th Mar Low tide at 9am at Pevensey, long walk to get fully immersed, kneeling to get shoulders under water then long walk back to get dry & warm. Luckily I was with the wonderful Pevensey Plungers for chat & laughter as we braved the sea. Share
Day 5
Thursday 5th Mar Another beautiful morning for a swim, the sun was out and the company good. Share
Day 4
Wednesday 4th Mar Misty for this morning's dip, sea temp just under 10 degrees, once again with the wonderful Pevensey Plungers. Share
Day Three
Tuesday 3rd Mar Lovely swim at Pevensey Bay this morning, sea was calm, the sun was shining. Share
Sea too rough for a dip
Monday 2nd Mar I went along to Pevensey to plunge with Pevensey Plungers but at 9am the waves were too rough, so came home & had a cold shower. Share
Day One
Sunday 1st Mar Cold shower for me today to start my challenge as the sea is looking quite rough today. Actually the cold shower wasn't too bad, I sang along to Bryan Adams on the radio and stayed under the cold water throughout the song Run to Me. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
