TWICKENHAM streaker Erika Roe relived her iconic 1982 dash onto the pitch in the Brunel Shopping Centre on Monday with the support of Swindon Supermarine’s Ladies Rugby Team.
Showing off their finest undergarments the ladies were launching a month-long fundraising exhibition in the shopping centre in support of Against Breast Cancer.
Bras in the Brunel will run until the end of the month, and women are being urged to donate their unwanted bras to the charity, which can claim back £1 for every 17 bras donated. To help the fundraising go even further donors are being asked to tape £1 inside the cups of the bras.
Speaking after officially opening the exhibition – and flashing the photographers – Erika said: “I just really enjoy the concerted effort of woman getting together to raise this awareness of cancer.
“It’s no good just relying on the medical teams we have got to get better at touching our bodies – and getting our boyfriends to touch our bodies – not just for pleasure but to look for any lumps or things that feel a bit different.”
Erika who lost her sister Jessie to breast cancer said she was keen to use her fame to spread the word about breast cancer.
The exhibition will run in the centre until October 31.
