Guy O'Leary (2002) managed to complete all 31 miles in the sea despite the stormy weather in May… During the month 105 people joined him to swim a mile – they have raised close to €60,000 for Cancer Research charities, which is incredible.

Of the 105 swimmers, 33 were Blackrock College Past Pupils – all donations are very welcome see www.mileadayinmay.org to donate and read Guy's story.
