2025 Chicago Miles for Melanoma

Arlene's Warriors

Arlene OConnor, an incredible wife, mom, grandma, and great-grandma, bravely fought melanoma for over two decades. We tragically lost her to this terrible disease three years ago, but her beautiful spirit lives on. Her unwavering strength included participating in clinical trials to find a cure, even though she knew it might be too late for her. Her hope was to spare future generations the heartbreak this disease causes, especially her cherished grandchildren and great-children. 

That's why we're walking in Miles for Melanoma. Every step is a tribute to her, a continuation of her fight. In her memory, we'd be honored if you'd consider joining us for the walk, donating to the cause, sharing this page, or simply sending up a prayer. Anything you can do helps us honor her legacy and bring us closer to a future free of melanoma.
