Mission accomplished!

Conán and I, recently had the incredible privilege of presenting North West STOP-Su***de Prevention with the money raised by Paul's Shannon Swim 2025.

This funding will directly support mental health services in the North West. The generosity and support that my swim received is difficult to put into words.

Thank you for helping us make a difference! 🙏

A crew meeting which took place on day 6 during Paul’s lunch break.

Sean Garvey kayaked the length of the river Shannon, alongside Paul.

He navigated for Paul.

He fed him.

He relayed information to & from base.

And kept Paul's spirits up day after day.

A hero 💕
