“On June 20th we’re setting the Guiness World Record for the highest number of naked zipliners,” says Zip Zone president, Kevin Bennett. “It’s going to be a ladies only event to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Last year when we did the event, we had 84 ladies who came out and joined us of all ages including the wonderful Helen who is 73 years old and herself a 23 year breast cancer survivor. This year, we’re hoping to have 150 ladies come and join us and raise over $30,000 for breast cancer research.”
