From the Organizer
Beth Melton Memorial 5K
Join us as we come together to honor the life, strength, and memory of Beth Melton at the Beth Melton Memorial 5K.
This 5K is more than a race — it is a way to remember Beth, celebrate the lives she touched, and make a difference for the many people who continue to fight Breast Cancer.
100% of proceeds from the Beth Melton Memorial 5K will be donated to METAvivor, an organization dedicated to funding research specifically for Metastatic Breast Cancer. Unlike early-stage breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer is currently considered incurable, and research funding remains critically needed to help patients live longer and find better treatments..
Whether you run, walk, volunteer, donate, or simply share her story, your participation matters.
For Beth. For the fighters. For the future.
