In Memory of Bill
Bill Walter III was a resident of Ormond Beach, a graduate
of Spruce Creek High School, husband, father and an
athlete who enjoyed many sports.
In January 1995 Bill was diagnosed with level 5
melanoma. In August, 1998 friends, family and classmates
rallied together to bring the first annual Bill Walter III
Melanoma 5K to Ormond Beach with Bill and his family there.
Three months later Bill lost his battle with this dreaded
disease. The battle continues as Bills positive spirit
lives on in the hearts of those who are trying to help find
a cure for melanoma. The 16th annual run, RayZ Awareness,
will take place on the beach at the Granada Beach approach.
Walkers and walking groups are welcome. Donations are
gratefully accepted.
The money raised during this event will be used to
help fund melanoma research, assist patients in need of
financial support and to increase melanoma awareness.
WALK OR RUN IN HONOR OR MEMORY OF
We would like to invite all participants to recognize those
special people who have been touched by melanoma. Back
signs will be provided for you to wear. Feel free to
embellish your sign(s) with photos, poems or special words. |

Donations
Every hour of every day of the year, someone dies of
melanoma. It is the most common form of cancer in the
United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in
more than 2 million people are diagnosed annually with
approximately 5700deaths in men and 3000 in women. Over
the past 31 years, more people have had skin cancer than
all other cancers combined. Melanoma strikes people of
all ages, races, all economic levels and both sexes.
While melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer,
it is also highly preventable and treatable if caught
early. Sadly, there is no cure for this aggressive
disease. We invite you to join us in our quest for a
melanoma cure by making a donation to the Bill Walter
III Melanoma Research Fund. You can make a difference.
All donations are tax deductible and no amount is too
small. Please accept our gratitude.
