Description

Ride the Outgoing Tide.  Bill Walter III was a resident of Ormond Beach, a son, husband, father and an athlete. In January 1995 he was diagnosed with level 5 melanoma.  In August 1998 the first annual Bill Walter III Melanoma 5K took place. Three months later Bill lost his fight with this dreaded disease. The battle continues to help find a cure for melanoma.
