Naked Charity

Friends of Autism Cymru 2005

From the BBC:

Sports stars Robert Earnshaw and Jonathan Davies, as well as weatherman Derek Brockway, have stripped off for charity as part of a new calendar.

...TV presenters Amanda Protheroe Thomas, Iolo Williams, Rhodri Ogwen and former rugby star Ray Gravell also took part.

And Plaid politician Rhodri Glyn Thomas, DJ Zoe Hanson and Miss Wales Amy Guy are among those who have all got in on the act too.

...Derek Brockway, more often spotted in front of a weather map, said he was always happy to support a charity.

"I was a bit hesitant at first because I have never stripped off in front of the camera before," he said.

"I was told Ray Gravell and Jonathan Davies had done it, so I thought, if they can do it, so can I.

"I actually found it quite liberating, but I obviously won't be making a habit of it."

Eirlys Eckley, from Friends of Autism Cymru, said the charity had been "completely overwhelmed at the generosity and support from celebrities and sponsors alike".
