From the Organizer
Every year since 2020, during our organization's Celebration of Life Cancer Awareness Event weekend, we host a 5K walk that began in the midst of the pandemic. Its purpose is to remind everyone how important life is and to encourage regular exercise while promoting awareness of critical health issues such as cancer, sarcoidosis, diabetes, and now COVID-19.
We come together to walk in the city of Melissa, Texas—where our organization is based—to raise awareness and show support within the community we serve. We invite you to sign up and join us for this year’s walk on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 8:00 AM. The walk will begin at Melissa Lake Park in Melissa, TX (please note, if the starting location changes, you will be notified in advance via email).
If you are unable to attend in person, you can still participate by signing up, making a donation, and completing the 3-mile walk in your own neighborhood. The support and purpose remain strong, no matter where your walk begins or ends. Join us in supporting our organization and this meaningful cause.
