On Sunday, breast cancer activists in Cyprus claim they are new Guinness Book of Records record holder for the
world's longest chain of bras. In an effort to raise awareness for breast cancer, a local Cyprus breast cancer support
group connected 114,000 bras together to form a continuous string of bras. The former record for the world's longest
chain of bras belonged to Singapore, when in 2003, a group there strung 79,000 bras together. According to the AP news release, hundreds of people assembled
at this seaside city's small harbor early Sunday to help form a colorful chain of bras donated from around the world.
It is reported that the crowd cried when activist Louisa van Rooij read a message in support of the cause from a woman
dying of breast cancer. She had written the message on two bras linked together -- one belonging to her and the other
to her mother -- who had already died from breast cancer. Photo credit: AP
