Minutes . Im hopeful guys you will be able to get out of the tent in the next few minutes, ill drop umbrella, see what it looks like behind me here. We have a lot of people kind of taking cover in the tent. But, also, a lot of people that are Walking Around, getting invent i have. I saw one woman with a plastic bag on her head then hat on top of that. So thats one way to do it. You know what, the rain is starting to wind down, we had real intense downpour come through about ten minutes ago, now just seeing a little bit of drizzle, few sprinkles here and there, but the worse of it is moving out. We just talk to fred stein, kind of running things here, he said he pushed everything back about ten minute so the opening is her moan list start about ten minute later than they were slated to because of the rain, hopefully that will give us some time to get these showers on out of here. Looking at storm scan3, show you whats happening with this rain. We were hopeful it wouldnt actually materialize, unfortunately it, did. In the, it is a very thin line of showers, luckily the heaviest is staying well off to the north. Look at all of the heavy rain in north jersey. But in our area the stead jest has already moved through. Still some lingering rain on the back edge, hopefully within the next 15, 20 minute, dry things out here, and then im hopeful that the sun may come out by the time the runners cross the finish line, closer to 89 00. This morning. Then the rest of the day is looking whole lot better. But it is casino of raw and chilly out here. I want to stress still come out. Please come out and support this wonderful cause this morning, but make sure you dress in layers, dress in couple of more layers than you may think you need tonight maybe jacket, gloves, raw, chilly morning, here on the art museum stems. A lot of spirit out here, a lot of smiling faces, and a little rain never hurt anyone. Certainly, the women that are about to walk down these Art Museum Steps have been through a lot worse than little bit of rain so i think we can all deal billion it this morning. We send it back to jim, brooke, car officer erickson. Thanks a lot of the kate. Out here, obviously the race for the cure, what ive noticed and what i appreciate about this, this is also a celebration of survivors. Just met wonderful woman leslie, under the tent in the cbs3 tent over there. Leslie a survivor after year. And she is just, i mean, just beaming with excitement. Real proud. Proud of herself and she should be, proud to be out here, and there was another woman that walk up. And she said, you know, aim survive over, been nine years, when i was at one year i was just like her. And it was amazing, we have our own survivor part of the team here. And i think Early Detection is obviously key. And when people see this, a lot of people at home may say oh, i dont even want to know if they hear a story that they had to go through chemo or radiation or something, but Early Detection is the key. Because the goal is to not think every day i had Breast Cancer. I would diagnosis i was diagnosed in 2003. I dont think every day oh, i had Breast Cancer. Because Early Detection, i was able to go back to my life as normal. And thats what we want for every woman and the men who end up getting this, they can pursuit life they want. Except i think they find it is better life on the other side of t and thats, thats what is most amazing thing; you meet unbelievable people when you go through this. You find strength in yourself you didnt know you had. And sometimes the only way youre going to know youre made out of steel is to have a test and a fire and that really is key to so much. And i think if people really take a diagnosis, or any kind of bad news, as an opportunity to send message to others, i can handle this. You can handle this. And it makes your journey and everybodys who is going to tomorrow you because other will follow you, make everybodys journey so much better, and easier, and just, you know, i love coming here because i love the comradery, the spirit, and if you come down here, you know it, and i hope you can feel those who cant come down, can feel it through the steps. Youre the tough he is lady i know. I just love you. I love you. Well let you go, go to the survivors walk, see you in a few minutes. Oh, we got to go to rahel. There is news happening outside.

We have jim, natasha and brooke joins us now. Good morning, guys. Reporter good morning. Good morning, rahel indeed. We are joined by anchor natasha brown, so nice to see this morning. So nice to see you guys at this hour. Exactly. Just saying it has been months since weve seen you. It has been, hasnt it . Natasha, youre out here every single year. Do you events throughout the year for the susan g. Komen family. This has grown substantially since you and have i been with the station. Absolutely, ive been here 14 years, so about that long. And it just never gets old. I mean, you meet new people, you see familiar faces, as well. Stowe really becomes like a family affair, just awesome place to be every mothers day. And you always have interesting stories. And i understand that you met some interesting people as part of this years race . Yes, absolutely, the lady that you are about to be introduced to actually youll see her in a second. Her name is jennette stevens, have been quite close over the years, has quite the story, a survivor, she is here, amidst the 6,000 survivors who make their descent down the art museum stems for her this journey is extremely personal. For jennette stevens it, Breast Cancer diagnosis seemed almost inevitable. My mothers fourth daughter, diagnosed with breast kearns, she had five daughters and four of us have had Breast Cancer . Jennette and her sisters have established an Even Stronger family bond centered around their Breast Cancer diagnosis and the struggle to defeat the deadly disease jennette found refuge with komen philadelphia in 2008. She is a survivor who has been spreading the words about komen and it mission for years. The komen name is out there everywhere. And when people are diagnosed with Breast Cancer, they need somewhere to go for support, they need to get the educational support. If theyre uninsured, they call komen. And were trying to be therefore everybody. Every mothers day, you can find jennette amidst the sea of pink that saturate the parkway during the annual komen race for the cure. Thousand it is running, walking, sprinting to the finish line. But behind the scenes, much greater need a rises every year. We need people to register. You know, weaver about 100,000 people or more that come out to the Art Museum Steps, and eakins oval, and they love to see that sea of pink come down the 6,000 survivors, but we need people to register, because everything has a cause. The cost it takes to provide free mammograms to those in need, 156,000 counting during komens 26year history in the delaware valley. The stories of those who have been helped are never far from our mind. There is a young lady who was actually diagnosed when she was 14 with Breast Cancer, when we met hershey was already 22, i think. And she still needed treatment. And so we were able to get her, connect her, with the right facility, the right physician. Komen continues to work, tackling the disparities within the africanamerican community. Black women dying at alarming rates in areas that may be under served. We are looking at why africanamerican women are dying at higher rates. We know that white women have a higher incidence of Breast Cancer. But black women are dying at 400 times more often. Every little bit of fundraising helps, which is why this years theme is the year of the team. To register, and you ask ten friends, for 10, thats 250 right there. 25 of the funds that we get go to research, but 75 stays right in the delaware val. I jen set among the 6,000 survivors who take their place on the steps of the art museum, for an emotional dissent. She is fortunate enough to see another year. She want to ensure everyone, ever diagnosed, has that chance. When you see us out there you see the survivors coming down, then people afraid of the diagnosis, but know that there is something wrong, that gives them hope, that let them know, well, if 6,000 people at that race for the cure can come down the steps, and they look healthy, i can do the same thing. Inspiring those out there, who think somebody may be wrong, people like jennette sharing the story, makes you come out, you know what, let me check this out. There is a family of people surviving, thriving, and, you know. We do have is he special guest here, so we will slide out of the way and introduce. We must introduce, friend, cbs3, all of philadelphia, and state of pennsylvania, governor rendell. So good to have you here. Good to be here, that the tasha. I missed the first one of these, but i became in 92, snow is my 25th. So 26 years were celebrating here, whats it do for you to be here every year, governor . The great thing about it, idea of the race to raise mine, great things for 25 years ive seen cures develop Breast Cancer survivors have much better chance of surviving because of the research, doing incredible things right here if philadelphia, whether you are introducing the aids virus to inject it into people to kill cancer cells and somehow the aids virus doesnt catch on but it kills the cancer cells. So the more research we do, the more running we raise the better making this chance obsolete. Wouldnt that be great . Awesome. 6,000 survivors, always emotional. Just to see them make their descent down the art museum stems. And everyone every them has a great story like our Carol Erickson, everyone didnt think they would make it, but thanks to the work being done here did make it, did survive. We want there to be all survivors, thats a goal that i never believe we would roach during my lifetime. But now i think there is a chance. Thank you for being with us, as always, so good to see you. See you again soon, now we will be back with more race for the cure in just a moment. Stay with us, everyone. As an educator, its all about connections. Youre not just in the classroom; youre part of the community. You meet these tiny kids every year, and you help them learn and grow.

You may hear jessica deans voice behind me, at the stage right now, opening ceremonies have gun. Of course thats good news, still little sprinkle, but definitely not the downpour we had earlier. Kate royal, survive, this year, very first survivor series, friends with one of the fun raising dynamos for race for the cure. Met in a business relationship, became very close friends, they share a bond in fighting Breast Cancer, heres their story. Andrea miller knows what it takes it raise money for research, sells homemade sweet potato pies, bridges her big puckett to wawa. Bowling alice, up and down south street on a saturday night, we do it all. Does all this because in the end it is the dollars that make the difference. I have a theory. Hope is not a strategy, wont hope for a cure, wove to work for a cure. As with so many of us, andreas relationship is a personal one. I lost my grandmother to Breast Cancer in 1989, at a time when there were no treatment, and there certainly was not cure and i lost subsequently a cousin at 52 years old, and if you have ever sat at a funeral with two teenage girls and watched them bury their mother, there is something very unnatural about that. When andrea mate kate royal, their business relationship quickly turned into a friendship as they bonded over a shared commitment to fighting Breast Cancer. I learned of kates diagnosis, i shared with her i was an ad vaux cat. Kate new something was wrong when she was diagnosed with a cyst on her breast. When they drained it for the purpose of comfort and sent it away, i got a call at work im sorry to tell you that you have Breast Cancer. Kateher husband had been married for only 11 month and it came at an incredibly hard time. My motherinlaw pass in the days of me finding out that i had Breast Cancer. Kate had triple negative cancer, required surgery, intense chemotherapy. But today she is a survivor. Kate will be joining andreas team the Team Pink Ribbon express, and will be walking down the steps for her first time as a survivor. Im not really a cryer, but i really think that it is going to be a very emotional day. And for andrea, in addition to heading up a race team, she is also sharing another important part of race day. You can find me at the big pink footprint tent where we will be honoring young survivors, 20 to 40 years old, we have a hollywood glam theme. We are going to be making women over, making them feel fabulous. Kate is planning to feel fabulous as she mars into that sea of pink with her fellow survivors in hopes she can pass a message to others that are still suffering. You can do this. Keep fighting. The days where you feel like i cant do it any more, just keep pushing through. Because you can do it. Such inspiring message from kate, the sea of pink starts to form now, the star spangled ban is her playing, and such a sense hereof importance, but also, excitement. So many people, the in upbears grow every year. And we see this group of survivors ready to run down the steps, hopefully carefully, things are little slippery in the wake of the rain, but enjoying their years possibly first year or possibly ten, 20, 25 years, this is our 26th year, and weve got survivors that have been here every year. So it is so inspiring to see and of course we will be brink that to you live coming up in just a few minutes, the rain is starting to wind down, we have a Weather Report coming up in a few minutes, as well. For now we will take a break and be back. Narrator the constitution says the President Shall make nominations for the Supreme Court and the senate votes. No exception for election years why is pat toomey refusing to do the job pennsylvania elected him to do . Toomey refuses to consider anyone president obama nominates, even a former prosecutor with more experience than any other nominee with bipartisan support. But toomey is choosing his partys leaders and playing politics with the Supreme Court. Call senator toomey and tell him to put the constitution before his politics.

Were glad you supported us, and susan g. Komen over the years, and youre out here today. We go over to kate bilo though, to see what the rest of the morning is going to be looking like, im not a meteorologist, but i think it is looking good. What about you, kate . There are still just few raindrops, here, andherere, few sprinkles coming down, but other than that, the heaviest rain has moved on out. Pretty much thats what weve been saying all along, 7 00 a.

But it is going to warm up with that warmfront, as well. Maybe a stray shower monday night into tuesday. But not a whole lot of rain, expected, as gee through the next couple of days. So finally a break from the cold, cloudy, gloomy weather today, after those showers move on out. Sunny and breezy tonight, few clouds, little chilly tonight, again, down to 50 degrees, winds are out of the west at about five to 10 miles an hour, and lets take a look at the seven day, eyewitness Weather Forecast which, you know, temperature wise, at least, look really really good.

We send it back to you guys. Philadelphia never let me down. Whenever you ask, what was the best part about this, you did this, it is the people.

Thank you, sir, thank you, brian shall appreciate t Nicole Brewer is also here. Were just full of all sorts of fun guests right now, common in, nicole. This is our good question, go to, right here. And you recently did one on friday that has to do with Breast Cancer . Yes, we did it in honor of todays celebration, and creating Breast Cancer awareness, and it was actually on the topic of breast self exams, because when they were first introduced, a lot of people thought this is a very promising advancement. But we wanted to know is that really the case . And in fact one of our viewers, monica, sent in a question asking just that. Are breast self exams really very effective . Good question, honda. Lets find out. Huge event in philadelphia. Around Breast Cancer awareness. They talk about Early Detection, right . How important are self exams . Critical, shower exams, playing bed exams, easiest thing took for myself. How important are self breast exams . Depends on what were measuring. Breast cancer surgeon at fox chase cancer center. He says, studies show breast self exams, or bse, do not offer the Early Detection and survival benefits of other screening tests. Thats interesting. Why, did they say why . Studies show, in fact, there was no improvement in the survival for women who develop Breast Cancer. Thats disappoint to go hear, you know, the way it is presented. They did detect, unfortunately, many of those what we call false positives. Thats test result that incorrectly reports a person has a disease when, in fact, they do not. And thats led some organizations, like the united stay Preventive Services task force, to recommend against teaching the bse. I tend to fall on the better safe than sore. I says most practitioners agree. It is still important to do these self exams, flight. It is still important, it is very important for women to be aware of their own bodies. You always have to have the baseline. We have to be our own advocates for our own health as much as we can. You know your body better than inch else dolls, i promise you. So how often should you perform self he can arms . Maybe every day when you get out of the shower . At least maybe once a week. Probably monthly. I think thats the recommendation. Doctor, says, women should do it every month, three days after their period, since swelling is lowest. If youre post menopausal, pair it with monthly that ising. It could be paying a bill, paying your mortgage, Something Like that. Isnt it nice we can talk about it, not taboo topic any more . It is okay, it is to happens, talk about it. We and we want to welcome all of you today to celebrate the lives. It is so great nicole that we can talk about this now. And that was such a taboo for so long, you talk to women who were around when it was you werent allowed to say Breast Cancer out loud. Exactly, just think about being diagnosed with the death east, not being able talk to someone about. That will so, certainly, weve come a long way, in terms of being able talk about it, but also, in advancing the cause and of course the treatment for Breast Cancer, yes, again, about knowing our bodies and taking those steps to be aware, if something is wrong, then taking the proper steps. As that one woman said, you know your body the best, flight. Exactly, so, so true. All right, great to see you. Happy mothers day. Thank you. Yes, all right, ukee is up here on the stems. Lets take a look there. Ladies, im going to take you up the steps right now, because theyll be coming down very shortly. Ladies, these are the survivors, whats up, ladies . Right here.
