The Henley Mermaids are a team of ladies who undertake challenging open water swimming in aid of several charities. During this Brain Awareness Week March 15th – 21st, branding it The BIg Splash, they are focusing on supporting eight charities across the UK & Ireland who are tirelessly working in the research and provision of support services for sufferers and their loved ones who deal with the four key brain conditions of Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. In the process of doing this they hope to raise awareness of the scarcity of access to neurological services most particularly in Ireland, where access to medical assistance and support services is often amongst the lowest in the Western world.
