Swimming Fundraiser for Irish Student



Ireland - Around 50 young swimmers will take part in ‘Swim for Pádraig’ this weekend, a special fundraising event for Pádraig Schäler who was seriously injured in a crash in the United States last June and has been in a coma since.   Participants in the event will travel around the country over 38 hours from 12th-13th April, swimming in the waters off every county in Ireland with a coast.   Mr Schäler (23) was hit by a van last summer in Cape Cod, Massachusetts while he was cycling to work. He had just completed his undergraduate studies at Trinity College Dublin and was spending the summer in the United States on a J1 visa. www.fundraisingweb.org
