Local More Than Pink Walk raises money for breast cancer
SUMMARY: CBS News Miami sponsors the Susan G. Komen More Than Pink Walk, which raises significant funds for breast cancer awareness, research, treatment, and detection. Survivors like Tracy Tin’s Horach, who lost her mother to the disease, participate to support others and share their stories. This year, the event attracted over 6,000 participants, aiming to raise $700,000, with over $500,000 already collected. Lynette Hickinbottom, another survivor, emphasizes the importance of regular mammograms, especially given the hereditary nature of breast cancer. Organizers warn that over 23,000 women in Florida will be diagnosed this year, underscoring the event’s importance.
Tracey Tynes-Horlback is a cancer survivor of 13 years but her mother died from it three years ago. She’s been a regular at the More Than Pink Walk in Hialeah and has helped raise $16,000 this year.

‘Eyesore’ Avondale home condemned, deemed unsafe after partial wall collapse
SUMMARY: A home in Avondale, Jacksonville, has been condemned after a partial collapse exposed trash, prompting a “do not enter” sign. Resident Kate Levitz expressed concern over the deteriorating house, which has faced complaints since 2001. The structure was deemed unsafe on December 16, and the owner is reportedly working with city officials to resolve the issues.

Why Apple TV+ is offering a free weekend of binge-watching
SUMMARY: Apple TV+ is offering a free two-day binge-watching opportunity this weekend to entice new subscribers to its streaming service. Experts believe this promotion effectively introduces viewers to popular shows, like “Ted Lasso” and “The Morning Show,” without requiring credit card information—only an Apple ID. Professor Michael D. Smith notes that this limited-time offer encourages viewers to explore the catalog, promoting future subscriptions. Despite having quality content, Apple TV+ has struggled with subscriber numbers compared to Netflix. The promotion aligns with Apple’s strategy to increase its viewer base as they explore potential ad-supported tiers and partnerships with platforms like Amazon.
