I , PERSONALLY am a two-time melanoma survivor (1987, and 2010), and am very lucky to still be here :) As the owner of Chic to Chic, a ladies boutique, I KNOW I can give back and make a difference and founded The Great Chic Challenge 5K Walk/Jog/Run to raise awareness (and funds) to educate my Chic World on the importance of protecting your skin against all forms of skin cancer, particularly melanoma, a potentially deadly form of skin cancer. Our 10th annual Great Chic Challenge 5k W/J/R is on Sunday, May 5th, 2019, BUT this year the Lake that we host our annual 5K at, is under major renovation. SO we decided to make our 5K a VIRTUAL 5K and spread the word encouraging participants and donors ALL ACROSS the United States!!! Through this we have eliminated ALL event expenses (other than our own efforts) 100% of ALL MONEY RAISED goes DIRECTLY to the MelanomaResearchAlliance.org which focuses on much needed immunology research. We will be going LIVE on The Great Chic Challenge 5K Benefitting the MRA.org. on Sunday
May, 5th, 2019 at 10 AM EST. No matter WHERE YOU are, YOU can Walk, Jog,or Run and support this AMAZING cause. Post to our page with pictures, comments and your final time (if you want) to encourage and compete with participants all across the US! We are COUNTING on YOUR help, no donation is too small!!! With my husband, Mike, and my entire family / friends' support, EVERY year has been more successful! Sign up for our 5K, donate whatever you can, to make this year OUR BEST YEAR YET!!! THANK YOU!!!
