Please support my fundraising efforts for the Melanoma Research Foundation and Ocular Melanoma research!
The cure for ocular melanoma begins with me.
Roughly 2,000 individuals are diagnosed in the United States each year with Ocular Melanoma (OM). To put that in perspective at this rate of diagnosis it would take 40 years to fill the Rose Bowl in Pasadena or just over 7 years to fill Ball Arena here in Denver. With the odds of contracting this type of cancer being 1 in 129,000 in the United States (about 23 new cases each year in the Denver metro area), you can see why you most likely have not heard about OM before.
Miles for Melanoma is the way people come together to take action and help support this fight against all types of melanoma 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.
