He's only half-way around his fundraising journey around Ireland's coastline, but 80-year-old Paddy (Ann) Conoghan has already raised over €50,000 for mental health.

Paddy, from Árainn Mhór, Donegal, has been making his way around the coast of Ireland since December 4, stopping for a dip at every port or beach he passes.
