This Advent season, I’m swapping out the chocolates for some cold water plunges around the Isle of man to raise funds for two incredible Isle of Man charities: Hospice Isle of Man and Isle Listen.

From December 1st to December 25th, I’ll be fully submerging myself in Manx waters at 25 different locations around the island—one dip for each day of the Advent calendar! 🏊‍♂️❄️

Why am I doing this

Hospice Isle of Man provides compassionate care and support for those facing life-limiting illnesses and their families - and I have always looked to repay them in some way for the way they have cared for family of my own.

Isle Listen works tirelessly to improve mental health and wellbeing across our community. A charity that is even more crucial at this time of year.

Both charities make a huge difference, and I want to help them continue their amazing work.

How You Can Help:

I’ve set up two JustGiving pages—one for each charity. If you’d like to support this challenge, please consider donating and try to keep the amounts on each page as balanced as possible, so both charities benefit equally from your generosity.

Every pound counts, and your support will keep me motivated as I brave the cold waters of the Isle of Man this Advent!

I’ll be sharing updates, photos, and videos occasionally—so you can see the shivers in real time!

Thank you for your support.
