'We kind of felt like as four young lads, we needed to do something to kind of speak up,' says Conor Murphy who is participating in Freezebruary along with his twin brother Cian and two friends, Derek Dunne and Neville Godfrey. 

In light of recent events, four young men are taking on a month-long challenge to raise money for domestic violence services in Ireland and to do what they can to help stop violence against women.
