A Monaghan student has decided to do 12 swims in the Irish Sea before Christmas this year, to fundraise for the Solas Drop in Centre in Monaghan.
Rossa Gilsenan said she wanted to do this to do something positive this Christmas, and to challenge herself to do something a bit 'wild'.
The UCD Student has already 4 swims completed with 8 more to do between now and the 22nd of December.
Over 500 hundred euros has already been raised by the local student.
Rossa said the very cold weather we have experienced of late hasn't put her helping her fundraise for the Monaghan mental health charity.
The Monaghan woman said she wanted to support the local charity this Christmas.
