Thousands filled Hialeah’s Amelia Earhart Park wearing enough pink to fuel at least a handful of “Barbie” sequels as Susan G. Komen held its annual MORE THAN PINK Walk on Saturday morning.
The group’s signature event for the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area helps Komen raise money to provide support to breast cancer patients, fund research, empower health equity initiatives nationwide, and advocate for change at the state and federal government levels, the group said in a media release.
“We are excited to host the annual Miami/Fort Lauderdale MORE THAN PINK Walk this year and provide a community for those impacted by breast cancer,” Sean Gross, state executive director at Susan G. Komen, said in the release. “Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanic women in the U.S, and the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area has one of the largest Latinx populations in the country. We look forward to raising funds that advance health equity outcomes and break down the barriers that create poor breast health outcomes for these communities.”
