BMO Financial Group launches new Mastercard to support breast health. Apply today and $50 will be donated to Bust a Move.
On January 30, 2010, the Halifax Metro Centre was buzzing with the energy of more than 1,000 people united for the inaugural Bust a Move for Breast Health. Led through six hours of exercise by the province's top fitness instructors and the incomparable Richard Simmons, participants spent the day challenging themselves and celebrating their fundraising success. They even set two GUINNESS WORLD RECORD recordsŪ for the most people hugging simultaneously and the longest massage chain - a Nova Scotia first!
In total, $1,143,169.11 (net) was raised! The new digital mammography equipment that will be purchased with these funds will help save lives by detecting cancer in its earliest stage, reducing waiting times and increasing the number of screens that can be completed each year. Thanks to Bust a Move's donors, participants, sponsors and volunteers for coming together to make a huge impact in the lives of Nova Scotia women and their families.
Even though the event is over, general donations for Bust a Move will continue to be accepted until February 15, 2010. Every dollar goes toward helping the QEII Foundation and IWK Foundation achieve their vision of integrated, world-class breast health services in Nova Scotia.
