My experience has introduced me
to a world of dedicated people
and organizations that are out
there on the forefront spreading
the word about sun safety, supporting
and advocating for those with melanoma
and searching for new treatments. When
I decided to take this walk, it
was my hope to find a way to benefit
a number of different organizations,
all of which are tackling melanoma
in their own way.
If you would
simply prefer to send a general
donation directly to me, I will
divide what I collect between the
organizations and make a final
donation at the end of the event.
- Supports medical research, finding
effective treatments and eventually
a cure for melanoma (gave $1
million in funding for research
grants);
- Educates patients and
physicians about the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of melanoma;

Patients Information Page (MPIP),
an international melanoma chat
room and source of support
and information.
