Giant skinny dip in Guinness’s top five

-

THE record-breaking Irish charity skinny-dip involving 2,500 has been selected by Guinness World Record chiefs as one of 2018’s ‘five standout campaigns’.

A total of 2,505 women from 22 countries stripped off at a remote Wicklow beach in July to smash the world record for largest nude dip.

They not only broke the world record but raised more than €500,000 for Aoibheann’s Pink Tie, a children’s cancer charity.

Organiser and cancer survivor Deirdre Feathersto­ne said: ‘We raised €502,000, which was beyond my wildest dreams. Those funds are now going to be used…to buy a house for families of children with cancer to use when they’re in Dublin for hospital treatment.’
