More than five-thousand people are gearing up for the San Diego Breast Cancer Three Day Walk that begins this Friday. Participants will walk 60 miles to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. KPBS Reporter Kenny Goldberg has more.
The walk starts Friday at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. It ends Sunday at Petco Park in downtown San Diego.
This year marks the fifth breast cancer Three Day for Wendy Morihiro.
Wendy Morihiro: It's an amazing, emotional experience. We have a saying: If you haven't ever done it, you'll never know. And it is life changing. It truly, truly, is.
To take part in the Three Day, each of the walkers must raise a minimum of 22-hundred dollars. Morihiro says she'll bring in 16,400 dollars.
13 cities nationwide have staged similar events for breast cancer research this year.
