More than a thousand women stripped down and swam in their birthday suits in Ireland to help the fight against cancer.



Ladies from Bangor, County Down join the annual Strip and Dip


The skinny dip included 1,800 women of all ages – from teens to pensioners.

Participants bared all for the Strip and Dip charity swim at the secluded Magheramore Beach in County Wicklow.

In its seventh year, cancer survivors and women battling the disease stood with their sisters, cousins and friends as they stormed into the water.

The charity has raised £623,000 (700,000) total since it began and this year the money raised will go to Aoibheann's Pink Tie, Ireland's national children's cancer charity.

Jackie Kavanagh, who is currently battling cancer, left her hospital bed this morning to strip down and skinny dip.

She said: “I was admitted to hospital yesterday and have to go for an operation next week.

“I got out today as the girl had it planned, as it’s a great cause.

'GIVES US GIRL POWER'

“A friend of ours has also been diagnosed with cancer so we’re all here to raise awareness of the disease and show that everyone is different.

“I’ve scars, I was opened up back to front.”

Niamh Brennan, from Dunboyne on Co Meath, was joined by her friends and sisters.

Her mum Kathleen died nine years ago after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Ms Brennan said: “My mam had ovarian cancer for seven years. She ended up with bowel cancer and she had enough and said goodbye.

“We decided to do this as it's a great way of celebrating her life.

“It's a great day out for all the girls. This is our second year going out. It's a great sense of freedom. It brings life to it all and gives us some girl power.”

It comes as thousands of men and women cycled through the streets in the nude across the UK, taking part in the World Naked Bike Ride.

The streets of Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and London were packed with bare cyclists raising awareness for road safety.

Cyclists strip off to symbolise how vulnerable riders are on the UK’s busy roads.

Some stuck stickers on their nipples and other wrote messages about safety on their bodies.

One message read “safer roads for all” and another had “now you see me”.

In Manchester, two Aussie cyclists wore only rainbow socks and trainers with the words “Get naked from Down Under” written on their backs.

Many donned glitter, body paint and even purple wings.

Brits in London were lucky to cycle in sunny and breezy conditions, and those in Cardiff took to the streets mild, cloudy weather.

However, naked bike riders in Manchester and Edinburgh braved, chilly damp conditions as they air must have felt a bit nippy.

Some cyclists kept their knickers and briefs on, while many enjoyed baring all and proudly cycling in their birthday suits.

The World Naked Bike ride is annual event in cities around the globe.

This year is the UK’s 14th year.

Apart from the raising awareness about the road safety for cyclists, the movement also advocates for reducing independence on oil and saving the planet.
