Donations can also be made directly (see details below). Good luck to Maire and everyone taking part.
| Join a possible new Guinness World Record We are attempting to beat/set a world record with this event for the greatest number of women skinny-dipping at one time. You may become a record breaker! Paddy Power bookmakers are taking bets on whether the record will be broken, to bet. All profits will be donated by Paddy Power to Action Breast Cancer. For ladies already signed up The exact location of the dip will be confirmed to participants the night before by text to maintain mystery and try to ensure privacy.
