A girl guide group in Dargaville has collected thousands of bras. This, in an effort to reach a world record and to fulfill a program related to breast cancer.
Dargaville's Girl Guide group has collected 170,000 bras for a world record attempt on the longest bra chain and to also help raise awareness on breast cancer. The said Girl Guide group from Dargaville took two years to complete the gathering of 170,000 bras.
This weekend, the members of this group will hook the bras together in order break the existing world record made in Australia. The world record of bras chained together in Australia had 166,000 bras.
The members of Dargaville Girl Guide group are all optimistic that their 170,000 bras will break the world record. They shared that the idea started during Girl Guiding's Pink Star Challenge in 2010 to raise awareness about the detection of breast cancer.
Robyn Martinovich, Girl Guide Spokeswoman, said that the idea came to her in early 2010 as she was flipping through the Guinness World Records book. She said that it might be a good idea to have the longest bra chain and that it would also suit a breast cancer awareness program.
Hence, the girls' goal was not only to achieve the world record but to raise awareness of breast cancer.
"I know we have managed to do this [raise awareness] from the hundreds of letters of support we have received," Martinovich said.
After this weekend, the representatives of Guinness will officially determine whether or not the girl guide group has broken the world record.
