Bras Across the River

Yesterday, in Manchester, NH, one of bridges crossing the Merrimack River was closed to traffic and opened to BRAS! It was for Bras Across the River, a celebration of life for survivors, support for those continuing the fight against breast cancer, and a remembrance of those who succumbed to the disease that strikes 1 in 8 women.

The Write Sisters have skewed those statistics--there are seven of us, and of the seven, three of us have had breast cancer! So, celebrations of life are important!

I attended Bras Across the River, and a few of the photos I took are posted below.

A pink ribbon on which survivors signed their names:


Some of the fabulous sponsors:



Awesome tee-shirts:



Her shirt reads, "Fight like a girl."
Lots of street art by NH Institute of Art students:




And bras, bras, and more bras!

If you'd like to see more photos, I'll be posting additional ones on my library blog, Kurious Kitty's Kurio Kabinet, tomorrow.
