HALIFAX , Jan. 16 /CNW/ - The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is pleased to commend the 'Bust a Move' for Breast Health event to be held on January 30, 2010 at the Halifax Metro Centre.

"Breast cancer is a disease that affects so many Atlantic Canadians every day. Raising awareness, promoting education about the disease, and investing in crucial medical resources, are vital to truly make a difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. With the continued contribution of Atlantic Canadians, we can save lives. It is with that understanding that I would like to congratulate the 'Bust a Move' event on bringing the Atlantic community together to raise funds, while having fun, in support of the breast cancer cause."
