SHELTER IN PLACE INSTEAD OF EVACUATE.
EVACUATE.
EVACUATE. DAY ONE OF THE SUSAN G COLEMAN
THREE DAY IS COMING TO A CLOSE.
MARCELLA: PARTICIPANTS KICKED
THINGS OFF AT THE DEL MAR
FAIRGROUNDS AND WRAPPED UP ABOUT
20 MILES LATER IN CROWN POINT.
BARBARA-LEE EDWARDS IS WALKING
FOR HER 16TH YEAR.
SHE JOINS US FROM CROWN POINT,
WHERE ALL OF THE WALKERS ARE
RESTING AFTER A LONG DAY.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
BARBARA-LEE: PRETTY GOOD.
SOME OF THE WALKERS ARE CROSSING
THE FINISH LINE RIGHT NOW.
IT IS CONSIDERABLY COOLER THAN
IT WAS WHEN WE STARTED THIS
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. THIS MORNING'S WEATHER WAS
GLORIOUS FOR AN OPENING CEREMONY
AT THE DEL MAR FAIRGROUNDS.
WHEN WE MADE OUR WAY TO TORREY
PINES, WE HEARD COMMENTS ABOUT
THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.
A LOT OF COMMENTS WERE COMING
FROM PEOPLE OUT OF TOWN.
MY REACTION WAS TWO-FOLD.
I WAS REMINDED HOW LUCKY WE ARE
TO LIVE HERE, AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY, BREAST IS SOMETHING
THAT TOUCHES SO MANY LIVES, IT
HAS BECOME A CAUSE THAT BRINGS
PEOPLE TOGETHER FROM ONE CORNER
OF THE COUNTRY TO THE OTHER.

LAST OF SEVEN WALKS THIS YEAR.
EACH AND EVERY WALKER RAISES A
MINIMUM OF $2300.
23 MILES A DAY FOR THREE DAYS IN
THE EFFORT TO FIGHT BREAST
CANCER.
CANCER.
CANCER. ALL ALONG THE WAY, PEOPLE COME
OUT TO CHEER US ON.
SAN DIEGO HAS RAISED MORE THAN
$135 MILLION OVER THE PAST 17
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. WE
YEARS. WE KEEP A POSITIVE ATTITUDE,
DESPITE SOME SOBERING
STATISTICS.

DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN
THE U.S.
THE U.S.
THE U.S. >> THIS IS OUR FRIEND KELLY.
BARBARA-LEE: THANKS TO RESEARCH
AND EDUCATION, EARLY DETECTION
AND TREATMENT, THERE HAS BEEN A
40% DECLINE IN CANCER DEATHS
OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES.

YOU ARE ENJOYING THE WEATHER, IS
IT MAKING IT EASIER?

LEFT.

SHARON CAME FROM OPPOSITE SIDES
OF THE COUNTRY TO WALK IN SAN
DIEGO.
DIEGO.
DIEGO. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT
SUPPORT ALONG THE WAY?
>> IT IS INCREDIBLE.
IN BETWEEN THE KIDS, THE DOGS,
THE PEOPLE, IT REALLY IS A
COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY. IT IS SO INCREDIBLE, SO
INSPIRING.
INSPIRING. THEY MAKE US FEEL GREAT.
BARBARA-LEE: I CAN'T EMPHASIZE
HOW VALUABLE THAT SUPPORT IS
ENOUGH.
ENOUGH.
ENOUGH. WE HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.
THE SCENERY IS SPECTACULAR.
I HEAR OVER AGAIN FROM PEOPLE
WHO COME OUTSIDE OF SAN DIEGO TO
DO THE WALK HOW INCREDIBLE THE
SENSE OF COMMUNITY IS.
IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO PROUD.
WE HAVE THREE DAYS OF PEOPLE
COMING OUT AND SHOWING US LOVE
AND SUPPORT.
AND SUPPORT. IT MAKES THIS JOURNEY IN SAN
DIEGO SO TRULY SPECIAL.
MARCELLA: YOU HAVE BEEN THERE
ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING, 16
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. WE
YEARS. WE WERE DOING THE MATH AFTER THE
JOURNEY, THIS YEAR IT WILL BE
CLOSE TO 1000 MILES YOU HAVE
WALKED.
WALKED.
WALKED. THAT DOESN'T COUNT THE TRAINING.
AS DIFFICULT AS IT IS, IT IS
NOWHERE NEAR AS DIFFICULT AS THE
FIGHT.
FIGHT.
FIGHT. BARBARA-LEE: NO, AND IT IS ONE
THING WE ALL REMIND EACH OTHER
OF.
OF.
OF. YOU
OF. YOU MAY GET BLISTERS, YOUR FEET
GET SORE, BUT WE ARE DOING THIS
FOR SOMETHING SO MUCH GREATER
THAN THAT.
THAN THAT. THAT FUELS US ALONG THE WAY.
CARLO: YOU TALK ABOUT THE
SUPPORT, PART OF IT IS THE
RELATIONSHIPS YOU HAVE MADE WITH
PEOPLE ALONG THE ROUTE THAT YOU
LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY YEAR.
BARBARA-LEE: ONE OF MY FAVORITE
WALKERS IS COMING UP SHORTLY IN
OUR WEATHER SEGMENT.
THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF
HOW SPECIAL THIS EVENT IS, HOW
SPECIAL THE PEOPLE ARE, AND HOW
IT IS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND
FAMILY.
FAMILY.
FAMILY. MARCELLA: WE SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
EVERYONE TELLING YOU HOW EXCITED
THEY ARE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
