A band of brave and hardy souls are dipping in the freezing waters of the River Nore each day in February to raise funds for Amber Women’s Refuge.
This is the sixth year of Freezbrury in Kilkenny and it is growing each year as Claire Hynes explains.
“Freezbrury which is in its seventh year involves dipping in cold water whether it be river, sea or ice tub for every day in February but the date decides how long we spend in the water. So it’s one minute on February 1 and 29 minutes on February 29, thanks to this being a Leap Year.
“Alongside the daily dips we are also organising a monster raffle which is being supported by many local businesses so we can really push to raise as much funds as possible for Amber Women’s Refuge,” she said.
