I created a Team Smitty for the 5K run/walk. Last year, John, Nathaniel, I did the 5K walk
The Smith Family, Mary, John, & Nathaniel
We were also joined by the O’Rourkes
O'Rourkes at 2008 Miles for Melanoma 5k. Samantha, Wendy, & James
So… if you’re interested in running or walking we’d love to have you on Team Smitty. If you’d like to donate… every dollar helps…
Here’s the registration page – http://www.firstgiving.com/teamsmitty
More info on the race can be found here- http://www.miles4melanomade.org/
The funds raised from the Miles for Melanoma of DE go directly to the Melanoma Research Foundation. The Melanoma Research Foundation has 3 goals- to research, to educate, & to advocate. Their research description explains why I support their cause, “To support medical research for finding effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma.” What I wouldn’t have given for a cure… sigh… I can tell you that I used their bulletin board to gain more information about melanoma and treatment options available. I can also say that Anna Marie Farrow, co-founder for Miles of Melanoma has been such a wonderful support to me during and after John’s illness.
