Thousands walk Denver's City Park and raise nearly $600,000

More than 6,000 people started the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk in Denver's City Park on a sunny Saturday. Survivors, people in treatment, families, and volunteers walked the park together during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. FOX31 reported that the walk raised nearly $600,000.

One walker has been coming since 1997 and is a 29-year survivor. She told the station that meeting someone who had just finished a first year with the walk left both of them in tears, and that the longer record felt like proof the next year was possible. The money goes to Komen's breast cancer work. The day itself was a crowd moving through City Park side by side.
