She raised around 300 euro for charity but more than that she found it very meaningful and positive; seeing all shapes and sizes, many of them survivors of various cancers including breast cancer etc, I think she came back with a more positive and comfortable mindset about her own body - that's just my perception anyway. Of course 2500 is a lot of people, and I got the sense that the event has grown bigger than the organisation's ability to look after it - apparently they all had to wait for like 2 hours at the beach to get everyone to get to the beach, arranged into various lines and counted etc, and there were no water or portaloos for participants for these two hours.
