Who We Are
- The Mississippi Melons
- The Mississippi Melons began in April 2008 as a team of 4. We walked out first Breast Cancer 3-Day in Dallas, Tx in November of 2008. The original 4 members collectively raised $9000, walked 60 miles and re-upped! In 2009, The Melons were 18 members strong and spread across Mississppi, Lousianna and Tennessee. The Melons are smarter, stronger and more determined than ever to fight this battle until the end! The Mississippi Melons are a team of dedicated and energetic women, working together and determined to make a difference in the battle to end breast cancer. Together, we will participate annually in a Susan G. Komen 3-Day For the Cure event and work to make charitable contributions to organizations dedicated to breast cancer research, awareness, treatment and support. Our fundraising efforts and projects will be dedicated to these ends. "We commit ourselves to the fight to end breast cancer and secure a healthy future for our mothers, daughters and sisters, taking one step at a time. We walk because we can, for those that can’t."
