But to a serious story here: will thanks post annual tradition in New York City, thousands of runners, lace up to race for a cure, raising money for awareness for breast cancer with the Susan G Komen Foundation, Jedediah, the cost is personal for Fox Business Anchor Gerri Willis, who was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in two thousand and eighteen. She is leading the fight against the disease, as the race goes virtual for the first time. Gerri joins us with more welcome to the Shoaf. We love having you here. This is exciting news. The first virtual race tell us all about it all right, so hi will Jed PETE great to see you guys. This is an amazing event. Today these people put together thirty hours worth of programming this year. Can you imagine that it is all virtual? It is on the Chem Man website, Komannyc DOT Org. My brother gave the prayer to start the race

im a little weepy this morning, theyre raising money in a year more important than ever before. Why guess what breast cancer not waiting for Covid 19 women are getting it all the time they may be. Less likely to be diagnosed because people are putting off screenings, even treatment is being delayed, so were getting out there. I know a lot of people think Gerri. Breast cancer has been involved. That is not true. Forty eight thousand women die every year of breast cancer. We have the power to stop that weve got to take advantage of that im hoping you join us even virtually today. You know to help these folks. That is what I learned from my experience. Women need support. Pete Gerri, you mentioned, did nine months of treatment. Being alone is one of the most difficult parts about it. I can imagine there are women facing it alone. Hopefully, this type of thing raises spirits. Absolutely

you know it was nine months, so it was a mastectomy. It was eight weeks of chemo treatment, five weeks of daily radiation treatment. I just get weepy talking about it. It is very difficult to go through. I was lucky. I had my family supporting me. They were behind me all the way youve seen some of those pictures. Not everybody has that advantage. Not everybody gets really fabulous treatment, so we have to reach out to these people now more than ever before, make sure they dont feel alone, because you know the research shows that if you dont have support, if you are buy yourself, if you isolate yourself, youre less likely to have a bad outcome were really celebrating today, all those women who have have metastatic breast cancer too. Those are women who have breast cancer gone outside of their breast area in other parts of their body. There is more help for them than ever before, but they really need support. Will to your point. Gerri

women are not alone. One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer. At some point we appreciate it. Gerri appreciate the Susan G Komen Foundation. Thank you.
