With football fever in the air, what better time than now to announce that Jesse Palmer will serve as celebrity ambassador for the fifth and final Bust A Move fundraiser for breast cancer health, taking place this Saturday, March 5th at the Ottawa Athletic Club (OAC).
The big reveal was announced at a recent luncheon hosted for about 60 women by Revolution Organics co-founder Melissa Shabinsky at her Island Park Drive-area home, which is every bit as lovely as she is. She’s chairing the event with Krista Kealey, vice president of communications and public affairs for the Ottawa International Airport Authority, and Trina Fraser, a law partner at BrazeauSeller.
Bust A Move, which is presented by Morguard and St. Laurent Centre, is an action-packed fitness fundraiser that brings together more than 200 women for a sweaty team-building day full of friendship, empowerment and inspiration.
Organizers dropped hints about this year’s celebrity guest, describing Palmer as a local boy with a penchant for roses. The former NFL quarterback and one-time star of The Bachelor is an ESPN college football analyst who recently joined Good Morning America as a special contributor.

If that’s not enough to get you into your lululemon leggings, how about this: he’s also really hot.
To date, Bust A Move has raised more than $1.2 million for breast health through the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The room heard, from Ottawa medical oncologist Dr. Susan Dent, how past funds have helped with clinical studies done on the impact that breast cancer treatment has on women’s heart health. It also learned how money raised this year will go toward the foundation’s After the Bell cancer coaching program, named for when patients have finished treatment – and rang the survivor bell – and must now begin the next phase of their lives.
“That’s something I can support, 100 per cent,” said breast cancer survivor and guest speaker Andrea Douglas. “I truly believe that helping women who are having trouble adapting to their own breast cancer post-treatment issues is desperately needed and something worth exercising for.”
Among the attendees was special guest Nicole Burris, wife of Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, as well as Ottawa women thinking of organizing their own team and current supporters of Bust A Move, including Shabinsky’s Team BFF. It flexes its money-making muscles each year by raising the most dough, although it helps that the team is 15 members strong.
