Even with a pretty regimented sun safety routine and yearly trips to the dermatologist, I found myself with Melanoma — the deadliest and fastest growing form of skin cancer — twice. Fortunately, both were caught early and I can say I’ve been cancer free since. Advancements in Melanoma research help me stay that way.

Miles for Melanoma is a way for people to come together, take action, and support the mission of the Melanoma Research Foundation. By educating patients and physicians, supporting medical research, and advocating for the melanoma community, the MRF is actively helping people like me who are directly affected by this cancer.

There is more to be done and a long way to go, but the finish line is in sight. The energy, enthusiasm and encouragement from patients, survivors, families, friends, caregivers, and the medical community impacts many lives and many futures.
