larming rate – the incidence soaring by 50% in young women since 1980

In 2009, nearly 63,000 people were diagnosed with melanoma in the U.S., resulting in about 8,650 deaths

We apologize for being MIA lately but we continue to work behind the scenes. Today we had a request for a melanoma patient who is at the end of her treatment.

Hi all. It's been a while, but we've been quietly working to continue to support others battling melanoma. But now we have a new request and we would love to seek some help from our support system.
