Patty Mellon, left, and her friend Sherrie Ziomek have started Tough Warrior Princesses, an Amesbury-based non-profit helping women affected by cancer. They are auctioning off these items at a fundraiser on Saturday.
Like countless other women, Amesbury's Sherri Ziomek and Patty Mellon participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk to raise money for breast cancer research.
The pair of friends created a team of 10 walkers in 2010 and dubbed themselves the Tough Warrior Princesses.
Like many walkers who join them on the 60-mile route over the course of three days, Ziomek and Mellon battled breast cancer. Diagnosed in her late-30s Ziomek had young children. Mellon, who met Ziomek when their children played on the same Little League team, watched her friend go through treatment, offering support and any help she could.

Unfortunately, any attempt to modify America's health care system has accommodated the special interest groups whose support is needed to pass health legislation. In truth, the issue should be to provide more effective health care for less cost. But, in fact, large sums of money are the real issue, and the ongoing legislative battle is over who gets to make claims on the money.
More than two decades ago, a small group of friends had a simple plan — they would get together regularly and have some fun. And, of course, dance.
The concept wasn't an unusual one for the five friends. After all, they had met at Haverhill's Bradford College where they did just that.
