Ronan Keating Completes Swim Relay Across Irish Sea
Famed Irish singer and television personality Ronan Keating has completed a relay crossing of the Irish Sea. This effort was done to support UK Cancer Research. Keating has used his celebrity status to engage in philanthropic efforts including marathon runs, mountain climbs. For more information visit “The Swim“.
Liane Llewellyn, Olly White, Nikki Fraser, Becky Lewis, Colm O’Neill and Jonathan Openshaw – the non-celebrity swimmers – swam brilliantly, for without their strong efforts, this would have been a much longer swim.
