It's sad that you would believe a totally unsubstantiated rumor that Meleia called a hit on anyone, especially since this was only said by one of the football players harassing this group of young college women. Sorry this is a late comment but I just happened to see it. As for the run (or walk - it was choice), the group was invited by the people who put it together. When the info was sent out, everyone was given the option of joining the run/walk (no required distance, just flat donation) or to donate directly to the scholarship fund.
