This year’s race proceeds will be donated to the Skin Cancer Foundation (www.skincancer.org) in the fund’s name to further Melanoma research and education. We are also incredibly proud to have the support of several publicity-sponsors, including Teen Vogue (www.teenvogue.com), Shape Magazine (www.shape.com), and Big City Moms (www.bigcitymoms.com) helping to spread the word about the fund, the race, and the importance of sun safety. Please see Shape Magazine's June issue (on news stands May 7th) for a story on Melanoma that includes details of Melissa's life. For reference, this event is an official, USATF timed race open to runners, walkers, children and parents with strollers. We highly encourage families to participate, especially because Melanoma is very often a young person’s cancer. It is important to educate children, parents, and young men and women on the dangers of this deadly disease - and the simple steps to protection. The timed race encourages the participation of more serious adult and teen runners. The walking group will start right after the runners. Non-running adults, teens, children, parents with strollers, and (children friendly) dogs on leashes are all welcome to participate in the walking group. There will also be a short children's "run" right before the start of the official race. If you cannot participate in the run, but would like to make a donation, please visit the DONATE icon at left.
