Miami Turns Into Sea Of Pink For Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure

WELCOME BACK.
THIS WEEKEND THOUSANDS TURNED
DOWNTOWN MIAMI INTO A SEA OF
PINK FOR THE 22nd ANNUAL KOMEN
FOR THE CURE.
I WAS THERE.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
THE 5K HELPED RAISE MONEY FORCE
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS AND IT
CELEBRATES SURVIVORS AND THOSE
WHO LOST THEIR FIGHT TO THE
DISEASE.
HERE IS A LOOK AT THIS YEAR'S
RACE.
Reporter: NEARLY 30,000
WALKERS, RUNNERS, AND SURVIVORS
HIT THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN
MIAMI THIS MORNING.
THIS IS NO ORDINARY RACE WHERE
PINK CAPES, BRAS AND SOCKS ARE
THE NORM.
THIS IS THE RACE FOR THE CURE.
IT IS AMAZING TO BE OUT
HERE.
THE FIGHT OF BREAST CANCER GOES
ON.
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THE
MORTALITY RATE OF SO MANY, BUT
SO MANY OTHERS REALLY SUCCUMB
TOO SOON.
Reporter: IT WAS THE 22nd
ANNUAL SUSAN G KOMEN FOR THE
CURE.
MANY TRAVELED TO BE HERE.
THEY CAME FROM THE BAHAMAS.
THEIR LEADER JUST PASSED AWAY
ON TUESDAY.
SHE BELIEVED IN THIS WALK.
SHE BELIEVED IN US AND SHE
FIGHT, AND SHE FOUGHT TO THE
VERY LAST SECOND BECAUSE THAT
IS THE TIME OF PERSON SHE IS.
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ IS
SURVIVING TEN YEARS AS A
SURVIVOR.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR
THOSE WORDS, YOU HAVE BREAST
CANCER.
I HAVE CHILDREN AND YOUR WORLD
COLLAPSES WHEN YOU HEAR THOSE
WORDS.
YOU'RE PANICKED THAT YOU'RE
NEVER GOING TO SEE THE
INCREDIBLE MILESTONES IN THEIR
LIVES.
YOUR FIGHT IS SINGULARLY
FOCUSED ONCOMING THROUGH ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
MY MOM LOST HER LIFE TO THIS
AND I WISH SHE WAS HERE WITH
ME.
Reporter: ALL AGREED
EDUCATION ABOUT THE DISEASE,
EARLY DETECTION ARE BEATING
BREAST CANCER EARLY.
IF YOU CATCH IT IN THE LATER
STAGES, UNFORTUNATELY IT
DECREASES SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO
GET CHECKED YEARLY.
