2025 Komen Houston Race for the Cure

Walking for Melissa. Fighting for a Cure.

This year, our team walks not just with a purpose... we walk with Meli in our hearts.

Melissa wasn’t just my bestfriend, she was my sister, she was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew her. Her laugh, her strength, her kindness, those are the things we carry with us every step of this journey. This is my fourth year walking, but the first without her physically by my side. This year, we walk for her.

As a member of this team, you are part of our story — a story of love, loss, courage, and hope. Together, we’re supporting the mission of Susan G. Komen® to end breast cancer forever. Every dollar raised helps fund breakthrough research for more effective treatments and, one day, a cure. It also provides real support for patients, from education and emotional guidance to financial assistance and care navigation.

Melissa believed in helping others. She showed up, gave generously, and fought bravely. We honor her by doing the same.

Ending breast cancer needs all of us. United in love and determination, we can support those in the fight today while pushing forward toward tomorrow’s cures.

Please consider making a donation in Melissa’s memory — and thank you for being part of this walk, this team, and this fight.
