NEWPORT BEACH, California - Hundreds of loyal Standup for the Cure Participants joined together this past weekend to celebrate life and pay tribute to our community’s Breast Cancer Survivors, Warriors and those loved ones that have been lost to this horrible disease. Standup for the Cure, holding true to their mission, continues to build an empathetic, supportive community and promote an active, healthy lifestyle, all while raising money to provide breast cancer screening and treatment to the underserved.
The day began with a moving opening ceremony and blessing that brought tears to many eyes. The spirit of Aloha flowed like a wave over everyone present. The Sea of Pink, which represents the strength of our community coming together in the battle against Breast Cancer and recognition of those affected directly or indirectly by this disease, was the prelude for our 5k paddle.
