Wicklow Strip And Dip Fundraising Campaign Creates New World Record

The annual "Strip and Dip" drive for childhood cancer charity Aoibhinn's Pink Tie has raised over 100,000 euro after breaking a second Guinness World Record.

In 2018 participants broke a World Record for the largest skinny dip, with 2,505 women taking part.

But this year, instead of large groups of women gathering on beach for the yearly skinny dip, they were asked to wear a swimsuit and post the photos online.

The group have now picked up their second title for The World' s Largest Virtual Dip – achieving the record for the Most Photos of People in Water uploaded to Facebook in one hour.
