A Dip a day in March

Dip a Day in March

Day 5

Such glorious sunshine, we were actually looking forward to our dip today. Gathered a bit of an audience of dog walkers and passers by as we waded into the water. 

Waves were quite strong so we took our time before having a dip and a bit of a swim. 

Felt like a summer’s day. Water still very cold but clear and sparkly under the sun’s rays.

Dried off on the shingle without the need for snuggling up in our dry robes. Though we changed underneath them to avoid accidentally flashing people on the seafront. That wouldn’t be the kind of headlines the hospice would want! 

Thrilled to see we are both in the top 10 of the fundraising leaderboard. Thanks to all our supporters. Today felt like a treat rather than a challenge!

Day 4

We are reunited for a late afternoon dip in the sunshine. 

Don’t let it fool you. The sea is still cold in this gorgeous Spring sunshine. 

In fact it felt even colder today! 

Day 1

Cold grey day here in Eastbourne, but we braved the sea for our first dip! 
It didn’t last long and was freezing!
Rewarded with hot tea from our flasks, sat on a nearby bench, whilst marvelling at a murmuration over the pier. 

We're dipping in cold water every day in March for St Wilfrid's Hospice

Throughout the whole of March, as a team we will 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. We would be so grateful for any donation, big or small, that you can give to help us reach our 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 us continue to support this cause.
