"Bras Across the Kaw" is a breast cancer awareness event that has gone on for several years in Lawrence. I missed getting a photo last year so drove to the bridge over the Kansas river this past Saturday morning to get a shot.
I was not expecting this.
To say I was moved to tears would not begin to express the emotion I felt as I walked slowly across the bridge all by myself on a chilly October morning reading each of these messages. It's a powerful tribute.
Oh my. Did not know this existed. Thanks for sharing.

That is a great tribute to those lost to this damned disease and to those who survived it. I would have been the same...reduced to tears and very moved.

Sitting in my office...tears welled up in my eyes. Have not seen this kind of a tribute before. Very moving. Thanks for taking pictures and sharing.

Not a dry eye in the house apparently. We must do something to get this disease!

Just reading the bras in these photos choked me up. I can't image what it is like to see them in person. Thanks for sharing this...my sister-in-law is fighting a tough battle right now with breast cancer so this really touches home.

so very moving! I miss my mom, who didn't even have breasts any more after her first round of cancer. She died of it anyway in 1997.
