"It's been not only hard on her but for us as well. It's amazing, all the pink. I love it."
Desiree Klomp, who took part with friends, family and work colleagues, said it had been 13 years since she had had breast cancer.
She said she had taken part in the walk every year except the first one.
She said more awareness meant breast cancer did not have to be a life sentence. These types of events helped with that awareness, she said.
"It's something fun you can do to show support and who doesn't like to dress up?"
Frances Berkers walked with colleagues from The Arts Village. She said they had been doing the walk for a few years now and it had become a bit of a tradition.
"It's not only a really fun thing to do with workmates and friends, but benefits the community in general and it's for a good cause."
Jim Hunter, a caregiver at Redwood Rest Home and Hospital, said there were quite a few people there who had been affected by breast cancer.
He said he did not usually wear pink, but today he felt fine because "we are all together and wearing it for a good cause".
