The Pink Tour is in Town

Parts of Dundas Street saw lots of pink Friday as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation made a stop in Woodstock. 'The Pink Tour' was at the CIBC Bank on Dundas in the morning, then moved to Shoppers Drug Mart. Naomi Rose with the foundation says the tour is all about providing information on breast screening. She says the bus itself is an interactive learning experience: "People have a chance to watch videos, use touch screen quizzes and we have a representative from the Ontario Breast Screening Program right on the bus. So if you make the decision while you're here and you want to sign up for a mammogram, you can do it right here." In 2009 Danielle Bradley lost her Aunt to breast cancer. She's been saving her pennies to give to research. "I never got around to it when I lived up north, but when I saw this opportunity today I wanted to go for it. My aunt meant the world to me and to donate to this cause so that other families don't have to go through the pain I went through, it's worth it." The Bus leaves Woodstock around 5pm, and hopes to reach 30,000 people in Ontario.
