Alright Sean. Now because of that storm,
the Coast Guard has gone ahead and
cancelled the CNN Diego Bay parade of
Lights that was scheduled for Sunday night.
Yet thousands were expected to
turn out to watch 80 lavishly
decorated boats ride the coast
from Shelter Island to Coronado.
Today, a parade spokesperson said
the expected wind could make the
parade dangerous for boaters.
But all isn't lost here.
The Parode Sect Parade second
run is set for next Sunday,
weather permitting.
The Mission Bay parade of
lights is going on right now.
This is a look at the fireworks
show that's attached to the event
in Mission Bay Park. Dozens
of boats taking part,
including signature boats by
SeaWorld Rady Children's Hospital
and the Loyal Soccer club Regina.
Ureta joins us now live.
Yeah, she is on board one of those boats.
It's the Rady Children's Hospital
foundations. Vote ohh. You are having
a big time tonight. I know it.
Steven Kirsten absolutely.
We are on a boat that is currently
participating in this live parade.
It is taking us on a beautiful ride on
Mission Bay here and we are surrounded by
other lit up boats that have decorated
well pretty much their yacht in these
beautiful Christmas decorations,
Christmas lights.
We also witnessed a couple Santa clauses.
We were trying to call them over
here but a lot of them are pretty
scared to become man overboard.
But like I said, we're here with radius.
Children's Rady Children's
Hospital foundation.
We have been talking to some family members.
We're actually going to introduce
you to Carrie. Hi, Carrie.
She's here with her family and her
seven-year old. Alex. Who? Six now.
I'm sorry, six years old, OK.
The 27th, OK, so close to my birthday,
but you know Carrie,
you were telling me about 6 year old
Alex in 2019 he was diagnosed with
leukemia and just a year ago he got
off treatment. That is remarkable.
It is. We're so excited.
He is did 806 days of chemotherapy
and we're coming up on our one year
anniversary of being off treatment.
He's doing great and we couldn't
be here without Rady.
So we really appreciate of course
all their support. Expertise.
I mean, you know,
this is so close to the holidays.
We know that sometimes, you know,
it's a difficult time.
And right now you're here.
I see your, your son, Alex,
he was playing with his, his cousin,
obviously with his brother.
And I mean, it's just such a different time.
How are you guys feeling overall
during these holidays?
We're feeling great this year.
This is the most normal year we've had,
I feel like in a really long time.
So it feels awesome.
We're super honored and happy
to be here on this parade,
be a part of the parade tonight and.
