Channel 2′s Karyn Greer helped emcee the event and got in a little dancing as well.

One breast cancer survivor told Channel 2 Action News the support of family, friends and the community is priceless.

“It really does really take an army to get you through. I know not everyone has a big support system. It is critical and it really does help,” Gayla Love said.

This was the group’s first in-person walk since 2019.
