The cure for melanoma begins with HOPE.

The Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) is the largest independent organization devoted to melanoma. Committed to the support of medical research in finding effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma, the MRF also educates patients and physicians about prevention, diagnosis and the treatment of melanoma. The MRF is an active advocate for the melanoma community, helping to raise awareness of this disease and the need for a cure. The MRF’s website is the premier source for melanoma information seekers.

INCREASING AWARENESS, SAVING LIVES

Approximately 90% of melanomas are considered to be preventable and when caught early, most cases are very treatable and highly survivable. Despite this, over 207,000 people will be diagnosed with cutaneous, ocular, pediatric or mucosal melanoma in the United States this year, and over 7,100 will be lost to the disease. The MRF is committed to increasing awareness of melanoma prevention and early detection while offering the most helpful resources for treatment, survivorship and support.

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 futures. Join our team today and help us raise money for a cure for Melanoma as it does begin with HOPE.

Sincerely, Amy Nichole & Dee Conway
