Life imitated art at 8 am on September 30th in Central Auckland. Pedestrians crossing Vulcan lane met an unusual obstruction in the shape of ‘The Blob' from The Foundation's new TV Commercial. See images attached.

Reactions ranged from confusion to amusement as ‘The Blob' undulated gently against the buildings in Vulcan lane. The surprise appearance is all part of Breast Cancer Action Month, New Zealand's take on a global initiative to focus attention on breast cancer incidence and prevention.

People can Take ACTION against breast cancer this October by being Breast Aware and - woman over 40 years of age are encouraged to enrol for a breast screening mammogram.
