The cure for melanoma begins with you.

Melanoma is the deadliest and fastest growing form of skin cancer and we all want a cure to be found soon. Miles for Melanoma is the way people come together to take action and help support this fight and the mission of the Melanoma Research Foundation.

Every step matters and every step counts. Significant advancement has been made in the past few years in improved detection, new drug treatments and better survival rates. This progress has been built on the breakthroughs made fighting other types of cancers, as well as the existing foundation of melanoma research.

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 future.

My family and I participate in Miles for Melanoma and raise funds for the Melanoma Research Foundation in honor of my brother, David M. Famiglietti, who lost his battle with metastatic melanoma in 2019 at the age of 39. Please join us in remembering David and supporting the important work that the Melanoma Research Foundation is doing!
