On the morning of Oct. 28, collected bras will be strung together around the exterior of the MOVE 99.7/Pure Country 105 building in Peterborough as symbol of support for women battling breast cancer, and to honour survivors and remember those who have lost their battle to cancer.
Bras will remain on display until Oct. 31. Upon completion of the campaign a cheque will be presented to the Peterborough and District Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society for breast cancer research based on the final number of bras collected.
