They all joined in cheering on runners as they crossed the finish line in addition to handing out pink beads to all of the runners and supporters.

Added Ekmark, "It is inspiring to be around cancer survivors and I feel blessed I was able to attend the event."
The event raised significant funds and awareness for the breast cancer movement, celebrated breast cancer survivorship and honored those who have lost their battle with the disease.
Thanks for coming out and being #MoreThanPink ladies. Good luck this season, and we'll be cheering you on! #RaceOnFightOn https://t.co/E5uJfnOEqV
