William "Billy" Claire

It's hard to believe it will be 15 years since my Dad lost his battle to Melanoma Skin Cancer on December 3rd. This year, my husband Eric & I will be participating in the Miles for Melanoma 5K in honor of not only my Dad, but others affected by this vicious disease. If you are able to donate to the Melanoma Research Foundation, you will be helping them find alternative treatment options to extend the lives of those affected and a possible cure for this disease that takes the lives of too many people. Thank you for all your support and love throughout the years, it means more than you will ever know.

The cure for melanoma begins with me.

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.

Step up and donate to Miles for Melanoma today.
