Limassol breaks world record with largest teddy bear chain

A teddy bear chain formed at the Aetos Stadium in Limassol, Cyprus, on Sunday successfully broke the Guinness World Record for the longest such chain.

The “Teddy Bears from Home, for Home” campaign, initiated by Evita Constantinou 18 months ago, aimed to collect teddy bears from across Cyprus to support the work of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Cyprus. The initiative included collecting donations of teddy bears, selling them at low prices to raise additional funds, and attempting the world record.

During the event, which was under the auspices of Mayor of Limassol Nicos Nicolaides, the biggest teddy bear chain was formed, breaking the Guinness World Record with 17,815 teddy bears and a 3,521km chain.

“Today marked the culmination of the ‘Teddy Bears for Home, for Home’ campaign, which began 18 months ago. The goal was to collect teddy bears from all over Cyprus to support the actions of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Cyprus by purchasing them to help families and to carry out a massive reuse campaign,” Constantinou said.
