More than 70,000 people came together at Jones Beach on Sunday for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

The 5K run and walk raises awareness and support for people affected by the disease.

Survivors, caregivers, supporters and those still fighting all gathered at Field 5 to show support as loved ones talked about what the event means to them.

"This is a support system for all breast cancer survivors, or any type of cancer, it really encourages people to go to the doctors and be ahead of their health," said survivor Sheila Chandler.

The American Cancer Society and Making Strides of Long Island organized the event.
