Miles Against Melanoma

2012

Helping Ourselves While Helping Others

For the fourth year, on June 6, 2015, members of St. Mark will be participating in the Miles Against Melanoma Night 5K event (race, music, fun). The St. Mark congregation has several families who had or presently are dealing with melanoma. The money raised is used to educate, support research, and assist families who are affected by this deadly disease.

The event is in St. Peters, in the evening, after the intensity of the sun has lessened. Melanoma often develops from unprotected and excessive sun exposure. Entertainment for all is from 5:30-10:30. Those registering have many choices for the ‘race’: the 3.1 miles or the one mile course, walking (or running) untimed or timed, and a kid fun run. A discount of $5 is deducted when registering as a team member. We are the ‘St. Mark Milers’ team.  Register today to get a T-shirt!  Go to http://www.fleetfeetstlouis.com/racing/highlighted-events/miles-against-melanoma

Come and engage in some exercise for yourself, enjoy the company of others also moving their bodies for good health, and contribute financial support to the melanoma community. Let’s be a church in action and motion!
