Melanoma Research Foundation

The MRF is the largest independent national 501c3 non-profit organization devoted to melanoma. Our mission is to eradicate melanoma by accelerating medical RESEARCH while EDUCATING to and ADVOCATING for the melanoma community.

Miami Miles for Melanoma 5k is a community fundraising event being held on Sunday, 8th at Zoo Miami. Miles for Melanoma is a nationwide series of 5K run/walks that allows participants to support and raise funds for the MRF by coming together in their community alongside fellow melanoma patients, survivors, caregivers and supporters. In 2024, our Miami community welcomed over 350 attendees and raised over $43,000 for the Miami melanoma community and to support the MRF’s mission. Our goal this year is to raise $43,000 and we hope you can support!
