Today was the date for the Paphos Cancer Patients Support Group in the Mediterranean region of Cyprus to challenge the Guinness World Book of Records’ Longest Chain of Bras!

Currently Singapore held the record with 79,001 Bras spanning 60 kilometers (about 37 miles).

According to Cyprus Sunday Mail Internet Edition, campaigners laid out 114,700 bras along the Paphos habor pier, spanning 82 kilometers (about 51 miles). This was covered by both international and local media.

The group collected bras from women all over the world in the course of almost a year, flown to Cyprus from Saint Lucia, Martinique, Canada, USA, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Iran and all 25 EU-member states.
