Sam is a close friend & ambassador of MANUP?

Even though we still think he is insane for doing this every day throughout the entire year, at least he is raising mental health awareness in a way that reaches people in a positive way. Dare to Dip was originally started by Sam to beat his addiction and anxiety demons by jumping into the sea every day for 365 days. This is a challenge he finished months ago. For some reason, he's still doing it, and he's built a solid community of people who join him every day, regardless of the weather or how they feel. It is no secret that Sam & his friends are addicted to a form of therapy known as cold water therapy.

We've joined Sam a couple of times over the last couple of years, not because we enjoy cold water therapy (it's too cold for us), but because we'd like to support him. It's a laugh. Even if it's at 7:30 on Sunday morning, it's brilliant to join and good for morale.

Feel free to join us in Felixstowe, you don’t have to get in the water, come & say hello.
