SAN DIEGO — The Susan G Komen 3-Day brought hundreds of people to San Diego and helped raise millions of dollars to end breast cancer.
Participants walked 20 miles a day for three days completing their 60-mile journey Sunday at Waterfront Park.
It was a sea of pink in San Diego as 1,500 people walked in the Susan G Komen 3-Day.
"The energy out here is just incredible. It's the reason I just keep coming back," said Jeanie from New York.
Jeanie met Lucile at a breast cancer walk years ago. Now they walk the 3-day together for loved ones they've lost to breast cancer.
"I walked for my twin sister," said Lucile, who lives in Carlsbad.
Each step is a story and journey together.
"A team of six walkers but a support squad of like 50 at this point," said Megan.
Megan and her family supported each other through each mile.
"This is my sister and this is my brother. We are walking for my mom who passed away in April. She is our reason for sticking together," Megan said.
It's that inspiration and strength that keeps everyone going.
CBS 8 caught up with another group of women at the finish line. Their beloved friend Anita was on Facetime when we talked to them. She's a breast cancer survivor but is now fighting once again.
"She was doing well until last week and we found out it metastasized," said her friend.
They're out here for Anita and others still in the battle. They walk for the survivors and in the hopes fundraising and research will prevent any more lives lost to breast cancer.
"We love you. We miss you mom," Megan said.
Combined this 3-day raised $5.3 million dollars to help breast cancer research and support people fighting breast cancer.
