Over €100,000 has been raised for charity by an 81-year-old Donegal man, who completed series of swims around the island of Ireland yesterday.
Paddy Conaghan, originally from Arranmore Island, set out on his journey in December aiming to swim at as many beaches and piers across Ireland as he could in aid of Gemma’s Legacy of Hope, a charity counselling service based in Burtonport.
Yesterday he completed his journey, and after hundreds of individual swims, he arrived back to a hero’s welcome on Arranmore.
