Christmas Day Charity Dip gets new organisers
The long-running Christmas Day Charity Dip at Dundag, Muckross Lake, will have new organisers this year as Killarney Cycling Club and Killarney Triathlon Club take over the event from Nikki and David McCarthy.
The couple have run the dip for the last 16 years and helped turn it into one of the most popular Christmas Day events in Killarney.
The dip will take place as usual at 11.00am on Christmas morning, beginning with the traditional loudhailer countdown. Participants are advised to arrive early and park in the designated car parks at Muckross House or the Arboretum.
To date, the event has raised more than €70,000 for Aware, the mental health charity that supports people experiencing depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety, as well as their families. All services offered by Aware are free, and the charity says the Christmas period can be a particularly challenging time for many.
