12 Dips Along The Ayrshire Coast

My Story
Thanks so much for stopping by! ❄️ This December I’m taking on the 12 Dips of Christmas — twelve freezinggg cold-water dips along the Ayrshire coast to raise money for Cancer Research UK. 🌊 It’s the first in what I hope will become a long run of meaningful events and challenges through my Better Days Initiative. This lines up with what I want the project to stand for: small actions adding up to push real progress. ☃️ Cancer research saves lives and touches almost every family in some way. If you’re able to donate, even a little adds up. Thank you for backing me and for backing the work that can give people better days ahead. 💙 Abigail
