LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Kentucky Derby is fast approaching, which means it's almost time for Oaks Day at Churchill Downs.
One returning Oaks Day tradition is the 15th annual Survivors Parade.
The parade celebrates breast and ovarian cancer survivors and encourages those still fighting their cancer battle to keep fighting.
149 survivors and fighters will march on Churchill Downs' historic racetrack prior to the running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks on May 5.
Participants for this year's parade have already been chosen.
