Jenny’s Stand Up Paddle Around Ireland 🌊

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page — and an even bigger thank you to everyone who has already sponsored me along the way. 💙 Your generosity and encouragement have kept me going through storms, swells, and long days on the water.

On 27th September 2025, I completed my circumnavigation of Ireland by stand-up paddleboard, becoming the first woman ever to achieve this historic milestone. This journey began back in 2014 with a 75-mile paddle to raise funds for my cousin Allysons cancer treatment, and over the years it has grown into an 11-year adventure covering the entire Irish coastline.

Along the way, I’ve raised thousands of pounds for cancer charities and, most recently, for the RNLI, whose crews watch over our coasts with courage and dedication. I’ve paddled through wild Atlantic swell, crossed busy shipping lanes, and shared the water with seals, dolphins, and even whales. Nearly every family holiday became part of this challenge — with my husband Richard and son Jack acting as land crew and cheerleaders.

🙏 It’s not too late to support this cause. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider sponsoring my journey and helping me raise vital funds for the RNLI. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving — they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, your money goes directly to the RNLI.

The RNLI lifeboats in Northern Ireland and across Ireland protect hundreds of communities through their 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and stations to launch from, and on public support to keep saving lives at sea.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey — together, we’ve made history. 🌊✨
