Specific Heat experiment

Hi Im having a hard time coming up with the experimental value of the specific heat of water. The experiment I did was putting ice into cup of warm water and measuring the initial and final mass/temp.

the following is the data:

Mass of dry cup: 3.434g
Mass of cup with warm water: 58.997g
Initial Temperature: 24.2 C
Final mass of cup and water(after ice has been added and allowed to melt): 63.336
Final Temperature: 17.3 C

Can someone help me though the problem?
