The Florida Cancer Specialists team will give the banner to oncologist Padmaja Sai, who was out of the country and missed the event. "We're going to surprise her with it when she gets back," Graham said. "She's treated probably 99% of the survivors here." Photo by Brent Woronoff

There was a sea of pink Sunday morning, Oct. 5, for the 15th annual Pink Army 5K on the grounds of AdventHealth Palm Coast.
John Subers, executive director of the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation, said a record 1,000 human participants, ages 2 to 84, ran in the 5K or walked in the 1-Mile Pet Friendly Fun Walk. Dogs of all shapes and sizes also participated.
Perhaps another 500 people cheered the runners or just showed their support for a good cause. Nearly everyone wore Pink Army T-shirts in support of women with breast cancer.
All of the money raised stays in the community to support breast cancer screening and diagnostics.
Regan Hansen, a recent stage 1 breast cancer survivor, was this year’s official starter. Hansen rang the bell just a couple of months ago to signify the end of her treatment.
“We caught it,” she said.
Hansen’s parents, Linda and Flagler County Commissioner Greg Hansen, supported their daughter at the event. Linda is also a breast cancer survivor. Greg is a prostate cancer survivor.
“With mine, two years ago, the mammogram discovered just two cells,” Linda said. “My story would have been different if I had waited a year (to get a mammogram).
Before the start of the race, over 20 breast cancer survivors rang the bell that was brought over from the Freytag Cancer Center on the hospital grounds.
Bob Massaglia, 53, of Palm Coast won the 5K race with a time of 17:52. Madelyn Yorgey, 12, of Palm Coast, was the first female to finish with a time of 21:17. Madelyn placed seventh overall. For complete results, go to runsignup.com/Race/Results/5085#resultSetId
Frankie, a miniature schnauzer owned by Casey and Michele Luedke, won the dog costume contest. Maverick, owned by Lisa Asbill, placed second.
The largest group running in the 5K was Team Tricia with 57 people.
Four generations of the Wires family participated with great grandmother Gina, grandmother Jeri, Lauren, daughter-in-law Bethany and young Mateo with Patti Sturmer. Jeri and Patti are both breast cancer survivors.
