Local father's mission to raise funds for Cavan's SCBU. A Bailieborough man is swimming 31km, over the month of January. This is to raise funds for the Cavan Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU). This is the sixth year that Aaron Hynes has undertaken the challenge; since his little boy Harry was born 10 weeks prematurely. Harry who is now almost seven, was born at only three pounds in weight. Moreover, within the very first few days of his life, Harry fell extremely ill after his lung collapsed and was then brought to Holles Street Hospital.
According to Aaron, during that time a number of charities offered support to them as a family. Indeed, the gestures of kindness is something he says his family will "never forget." Jodie Curran spoke with the Bailieborough dad-of-two about this month's challenge for Cavan's SCBU. :
