Skinny dip to help fight cancer
1:24pm Monday 11th February 2013 in Harwich and Manningtree News By Dave Lambert
HUNDREDS of skinny dippers will shed their clothes and launch themselves into the sea in a charity world record bid.
Daring do-gooders will bare all to fight cancer as part of the fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
It will take place at a beach in Tendring, but the exact location is a closely guarded secret.
Fundraisers are hoping to set the world record for the number of people skinny dipping at one time.
The current record was set by the cancer care charity in 2011 when 413 people rushed into the sea in Wales, raising £40,000 for Marie Curie through sponsorship.
Organisers are hoping to top that record in Tendring this year.
The skinny dip session will take place on June 2 at 7am.
It costs £15 to enter and the brave dippers are asked to raise £85 in sponsorship cash.
People can sign up for the event by calling 0845 0524184 or visiting mariecurie.org.uk/en-GB/events/adrenaline-experiences/

Imagine, after an exhausting week of the daily facade everyone puts on every morning before we step out our doors, the ability to go to a place where none of that defines the person you are. go to naturistspace.org Where you are not judged by the car you drive, the type of job that you have, or the clothes on your back. Imagine a place where everyone's the same, and you'll imagine what it's like to visit there.
