Online donors buy breast implants for Calgary woman

A Calgary woman has become the first Canadian to receive enough donations from strangers through a U.S. website to get breast augmentation surgery.

C&ace Leadley, a 26-year-old single mother, came across a website called My Free Implants while surfing the internet in 2006. The site connects women wanting bigger busts with men willing to donate money to their operations.

Leadley set up a profile & posted some pictures of herself. Soon, she was chatting online with men from around the world.

"I just had guys wanting to talk to me & messaging me," she told CBC News. "I made some pretty good friendships from there & then the donations started coming in."

She eventually found enough benefactors who donated $8,500 for her surgery in April that will take her from a size 29A to a 36C. The money will be transferred directly from the website to her surgeon.
