Creating connections, encouraging others, and bringing awareness to the many women on a journey with breast cancer was behind an evening of bra decorating in Winkler Thursday evening.
    
A group of ladies gathered at the Winkler Arts and Culture Centre for the Brahaha event, which was organized by Valerie Klassen, who is also a cancer survivor.
    
Anny Froese, a friend and co-worker of Valerie's, said she feels honoured to have been among the people to walk along side Valerie during her journey with breast cancer, a disease which has also touched her own family. Her mother in-law is also a survivor of breast cancer.
