Eoghan Hegarty fundraising for The Mater Hospital Foundation with Team Raging Bull

This year's Dickie Dip is a very personal one for me. In memory of my much loved brother-in-law, Matt Davis, I'm going all in, because he would have expected nothing less. As part of Team Raging Bull, we have a huge target to hit and we intend to burst through it. Your donation will really help. 1 in 7 men in Ireland will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Please do at least one of these three things, in this order: 1. Get your prostate checked. Talk to your GP about it, from age 50, or age 40 if it runs in your family. The Irish Cancer Society Support Line is free on 1800 200 700 (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm), or see https://www.cancer.ie/our-services 2. Donate to this page. 3. Take part in the Dip in Skerries on Saturday 7 November 2026: https://www.materfoundation.ie/mater-events/dickie-dip/ Any one of them is a win. All three is even better. Thank you, Eoghan You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. Thanks again!
