After having melanoma removed from my face, I’ve experienced firsthand how serious and how common this disease can be. I’m incredibly grateful for early detection, excellent medical care, and the research that made my treatment possible. Now I want to help move that progress forward for others.

Melanoma is the deadliest and one of the fastest-growing forms of skin cancer, but there is real hope. Thanks to continued research, there have been major advances in detection, treatment, and survival rates in recent years. Those breakthroughs happen because people show up, speak up, and step up.

Miles for Melanoma brings together survivors, families, friends, caregivers, and supporters to take action toward a cure. Every step we take together supports the lifesaving work of the Melanoma Research Foundation—and every step truly counts.

There is still more work to do, but the finish line is getting closer. I’m walking/running in honor of everyone affected by melanoma and to help create a future where fewer people have to hear that diagnosis.

If you’re able, I’d love your support—whether that’s donating, joining our team, or helping spread the word.
