A kindhearted Dublin doctor has raised over €20,000 for one of his young quadriplegic patients.
Dr. Aidan Hampson, who has been a GP for 43 years, did a 24km swim along with Frank Cope, Dave Cherry, Eoin Boyle, and Damien Kelly. They were the first ever relay team to swim from Lambay to Bull Island all in aid of Family Carers Ireland.
Dr. Hampson, who is based in Artane, comes from a family of doctors including his grandfather, father, sister and two daughters. The 70-year-old had prostate cancer 10 years ago and last January he had a recurrence of it, but nothing stopped him from completing the swim for his patient.
