Mayo Cancer Support Association and Cancer Care West are to attempt to set a new world record on Saturday November 22 for the world’s highest bra-chain, by linking a chain of bras up and down Croagh Patrick in aid of breast cancer awareness.
The charity event will be adjudicated by the Guinness Book of Records and will start at the base of Croagh Patrick at 9am with an ecumenical Mass.
Women from all over have been donating bras for the past year to assist the charity world record attempt and the cut-off point for donating bras at various drop-off points around the country will be on November 10.
Organisers have appealed for as many volunteers as possible to assist on the day by either helping to link the bra chain up the 2,510 foot mountain or by assisting at the base of Croagh Patrick. Anyone who wants to volunteer can register their support by phoning 094 904 4877; or 091 529 609 or emailing [email protected].
On the following day, Sunday November 23, Westport House will open its doors to the public with all admission fees going to the Mayo Cancer Support Association and Cancer Care West.
