BOSTON (WHDH) - Thousands of Boston-area residents took part in the 32nd annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Boston to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

7NEWS is a title sponsor of the event, which drew survivors, their families, and those touched by breast cancer and aimed to raise money for breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.

7’s own Jadiann Thompson emcee’d the event and meteorologist Chris Lambert attended the walk to gather stories from those who took part.

Participants decked out in pink could choose either a 2 or 5 mile route before celebrating at the Hatch Shell.

Organizers say the event is expected to raise $1.2 million.
