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. But you also get to know their families, and over the years they become a part of your life, and you become a part of theirs. When you build those connections, you can accomplish some Pretty Amazing things. Im Jackie Kruzik and im proud to be a new jersey educator. Sea the of pink, survivors starting to mover on in. 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
