We are Team Mercer! And the cure for melanoma begins with all of us.

If you've arrived on this page, you must know and love Jeff Mercer and his family. He inspires us with his strength, warmth, and good humor, and we feel compelled to do what we can to fund research that can help him and others with melanoma. 

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. Thanks for doing what you can to walk, run, or donate alongside us!

Step up and donate to Miles for Melanoma today.
