Emily was vivacious, hilarious, kind-hearted, and truly irreplaceable. Last year, she proudly led "The Shady Bunch" in raising a team total of $14,456. This year, we aimed to raise $25k+ to support breakthroughs in both detection and treatment of melanoma, resulting in better outcomes for melanoma patients like Emily. 

We are so incredibly proud of the funds we have raise so far and deeply grateful for the support from family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. No doubt that we are making Emily incredibly proud.

We've surpassed $25,000 raised, but we're not stopping there. If you haven't shared our page yet, please do. And if you know someone who might want to contribute in these final days or walk with us on August 22nd, send them our way! 

The cure for melanoma begins with us.

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.
