Miles For Melanoma:I Run For My Dad

Donation protected
I am raising money for Miles for Melanoma, a fundraiser for the Melanoma Research Foundation. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer; every hour of every day somebody dies from it. Unlike many forms of cancer, there are few treatment options for melanoma besides early detection and removal. The Melanoma Research Foundation aims to change that, and give melanoma patients the same levels of treatment, improvements in prognoses, and above all hope, that have been seen for so many other forms of cancer. Your donations will benefit the Foundation and all those struggling with this disease.   I am particiapting in the Miles for Melanoma run sometime next summer. I have three team memebers with me, if anyone else is intersted please let me know. If anyone would like to run, or help raise funds for this cause, please contact me.  My page is below.

This issue is near and dear to my heart, as my father has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma. Currently, the only treatment available to him is Interferon. While we have great hope for what it can do for him, it has many terrible side effects. It is my goal to help the Foundation find a better treatment for all those who have stage 3 melanoma, so that other families will not have to face what we are facing.  

Thank you for your time and donation.
