And it was. Nearly 6,500 run­ ners and another 2,000 specta­ tors filled Daly Field on Soldiers Field Road in Brighton, stretch­ ing out on the grass, checking out sponsor booths, and picking up race numbers for the SK (3. 1 mile) run and walk along the banks of the Charles. Many also wore hand-lettered pink placards on the fronts of their shirts, with the word "in memory of' or "in celebration of," fo llowed by the name of a loved one. The cause? Breast cancer treatment and prevention, as well as celebrating survivors as well as those who have been lost. Begun in 1982 by the sister of a woman who died of breast can­ cer, the Susan G.
