Rob Ford holds last-chance bobble head sale for hospitals

As his term as Toronto's mayor enters its final days, Rob Ford plans to sell off the last of his popular bobblehead dolls Friday, with proceeds going to the hospitals treating his cancer.

Dolls will sell for $30 as Ford's term comes to an end

Outgoing Toronto mayor Rob Ford will be selling off the rest of his "Robbie Bobbie" bobble heads this Friday.

Ford released a statement saying proceeds from the bobble heads will be going to the two hospitals that have been treating him for cancer over the past two months.

He says supporters can buy the collectors' items at the mayor's office for $30 each piece with the net proceeds going to support the Humber River Hospital and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Previous sales of Ford bobble heads have brought long lineups to city hall.

Doctors discovered a rare and aggressive cancer in Ford's abdomen in September and the scandal-plagued mayor dropped his bid for re-election shortly afterwards.

Toronto's mayor-elect John Tory takes office Dec. 2.
