The event began at 8 a.m. with a breakfast for all of the breast cancer survivors. 

Survivors wear pink t-shirts and don beaded necklaces, one for each year of survival.

The Windsong Mobile Mammography unit was set up at the event to raise awareness about early detection and annual screenings. Windsong provided screenings for women who were due for an annual exam.

Windsong had a team of more than 160 staff that participated in Saturday's walk. They raised more than $4,000.
