World Record Bra Chain

A town in south-east Queensland claim to have created a world record chain of lady’s brassieres.

The record attempt was organised by Rob Bauer of Citizens Who Care, a fund raising organisation who support breast cancer charities.

The event took three years to fully organise, the chain contains 166,000 bras and stretches an incredible 163 kilometres which breaks the 2006 record set in Cyprus by a full 51 kilometres.

Bauer says that the bras will now be donated to women in third world countries with many going to the Afghan Women’s Association in Afghanistan.

“I’ve also donated 20-odd-thousand to the Afghan Women’s Association to go to Afghanistan to one of refuges there,” Bauer told Australia’s ABC News.

“What I set out to do was not only break the record and raise money, but I wanted people to be aware of breast cancer,”

“I wanted women and men to take it on board to either self test or go to the doctors and be tested.

“If we save one person by doing what we’ve done we’ve achieved something.”

The record has yet to be verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
