The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is calling on as many people as possible to “Swim in Pink” during October to help raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research.
The institute says that one in seven Irish women will develop breast cancer before they reach 75, with over 3,500 cases diagnosed annually.
This is the third year of their event to raise awareness and funds – to date, over €44,000 has been raised nationwide.
Participants can “dip”,” swim” or “splash”, and will receive a free “Swim in Pink” cap on registering for €25.
All of the monies raised go to the National Breast Cancer Research Institute, it says.
