Breakthrough Breast Cancer's four Annual Bra Dashes  were a great success! and my heartfelt thanks to everyone who organised, helped, or turned up at one or two dashes across the island!  Some people managed 3 Dashes- well done! Over £3,000 was collected on the streets of all the Dashes - brilliant.

Grand total since 2005 £105,696

BraDash 2010 smashes their target which now stands at £20,696.

Douglas Dash had some 200 Dashers and even more stunning costumes than ever!  The weather stayed fine and bright for each Dash - thank goodness!

The Purple Helmets roared down Market Street to get to the start of the crowd to lead the Dash. They all wore home crafted bra's of different shapes and sizes!  One was made of traffic cones, one was made of large 'pots' and some wore extra large bra's !

'Minister of Fun' David Cretney set the Dashers off by the sound of an air horn and soon we had the Sheila's Wheels Bra Car rumbling along with 3 ladies trotting inside it. There was a Dashing Banana , The Lloyds TBS Fairy Conga Team, the Cowboys & Girls, The Sumo Wrestler, the little Pirate, Lady Gaga's Team sporting many of her outfit's, M & S Managers '5 a day' wearing bra's full of fruit, leggy Brett in his swinging sixties flares, The Hawaiian 'girls', The Woollies check out girl, and many more!

Over £1,500 was raised on the streets of Douglas in just under 1/2 an hour whilst the Dashers ran through M & S Store. Dot Tilbury and Geoff Corkish kept the commentary going to entertain the crowd.

A HUGE thanks to our main sponsor's LLOYDS TSB Bank for supporting this charity event and providing the main prize money for the Dashing dashers!
Manx Telecom generously provided 4 Pink Samsung Mobile phones for each Dash and

A variety of refreshing drinks were generously supplied by Coca Cola, delicious hot pasties enjoyed by all from Ramsey Bakery, sweet and tasty snacks were plentiful and provided by Shoprite Isle of Man.
