About 1,800 women have stripped off on a beach in Co Wicklow to help the fight against cancer. The mass skinny dip included women of all ages – from teenagers to pensioners – and was for the Strip and Dip charity swim. Cancer survivors stood with women who still had the disease, while sisters, cousins, friends and work colleagues also joined in. Jackie Kavanagh, who has cancer, left her hospital bed on Saturday morning to take part in the mass skinny dip. “People of all ages are here, cancer doesn’t discriminate.”Bernie Murray, from Bray, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.
