The Mother's Day tradition began at the Philadelphia Museum of Art/ Eakins Oval with the opening ceremonies at 7 a.m.
Then at 7:45 a.m., thousands of survivors marched down the iconic Art Museum steps for the emotional parade of survivors.
One woman said, "I could cry because I know I'm not the only one. There's all these survivors out here. My sister is out here. I have a lot of support."
She continued, "I see I am never alone. Sometimes when you go through this you think you are alone, and you just feel so down, but seeing all this is a beautiful thing today."
