Tara heard about the trip to Sligo and after borrowing her Mums dressing gown she headed off on her trip. Alone. She was not sure what to expect but she knew to expect something. She got there and typical Tara made friends immediately. Little did everyone know that she could be quite shy and had spent a childhood getting over shyness. That night though everyone sat around and told their story. Something that gave Tara enormous encouragement. The following morning the group gathered together and did the first Dip in the Nip. Letting go and saying enough to Cancer.
The Dip in the Nip is about releasing that fear for patients, remembering those that have passed for family and friends and for those who do the dip for their own private struggles a way of drawing a line in the sand for overcoming something or achieving something private and important.
People come in Teams, Families, Support Groups and some people have travelled from the other side of the country alone. Because like that first group they felt compelled to say ………….Enough.
This year we once again say Enough and Dare to Bare in the fight against Cancer.
