MIAMI ā Thousands came out for the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk on Saturday morning in downtown Miami to benefit research in the fight against breast cancer.
TheĀ event is now in its 23rdĀ yearĀ with the Miami race being one of the biggest in the country and certainly the biggest in the South Florida area.
The money the race raises goes toward breast cancer treatments and diagnostic tools through the Susan G.Ā KomenĀ Foundation, improving the lives of those living with breast cancer and prevention efforts.
Breast cancer isnāt just a womenās issue.Ā
āItās all about support. One part of the process isĀ making sure that they have the support of the family, that youāre behind them, and you got to a lift their spirits when theyāre going through such difficult times, with all the medical and radiation and chemotherapy that they go through,ā attendee Marc Torres said.
At least $10,000 was raised at the walk to help patients and survivors.
