I am taking part in Freezbrury this year to help raise funds for Mental Health Ireland along side others who are raising for Pieta House and Samaritans. 

The idea is to immerse yourself, up to your chest, in a natural body of water every day of February. The sea, a river or a lake will do. Each day is a progressive immersion of one minute. So, in day one you immerse for 1 minute, day 2 = two minutes, day 10 = 10 minutes and day 28 = 28 minutes.  February was selected not because it was the shortest month of the year, but because it was the most difficult. As most sea swimmers will attest, February is the coldest month for sea and water temperatures in Ireland. Hence the name #Freezbury.

Mental health is a common topic during these strange and difficult times. Anyone who is struggling must know that there is always support available and that they are not alone. In doing the Freezbrury challenge, hopefully I can raise more awareness and help highlight the supports that are available for people in times of need.
