They are doing the Susan G Komen 3 day cancer walk in Metro Detroit yesterday, today and ending tomorrow.
The Campsite is at Rotary Park in Livonia MI.
Thousands of Metro Detroit women and men come together, each raising money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Then they take their commitment to end breast cancer one step further and walk 60 miles over the course of three days.
My wife has had three bouts with cancer over the last 18 years. She is always happy to see this walk go on. She can barely walk a mile let alone the 60 miles.
In order to participate each walker has to raise $2200 in order to walk. A tremendous committment for each walker both phsically and financially. Three cheers for these women.
Eighty-five percent of the net proceeds of this event go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Every advancement in breast cancer research, treatment, education and prevention in the last 25 years has been touched by a Komen for the Cure grant.
The remaining fifteen percent of net funds goes to the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund to provide a permanent endowment for ongoing support of breast cancer initiatives.
Even the trash cans are pink. 
Thousand of women and some men dressed in pink are walking the streets of Livonia Mi today and tomorrow. So cheer them on and watch out for them when turning when you are in Livonia.
