TEAMM4M – Making a Difference for Melanoma, One Mile at a Time

Thinking about running a marathon or half marathon this year? You can make your run benefit melanoma research by helping raise money for the Melanoma Research Foundation. The MRF is committed to supporting research to find effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma, the fastest growing cancer in the US.

TEAMM4M was founded in 2006 by Kevin Stenstrom, a marathoner diagnosed with melanoma. Perceiving a lack in sporting event fundraising around this cause, he identified MRF as the best partner to further his goals, and the rest was history! Last year the TEAM raised $150,000; this year, it’s $200,000.

Join us – let’s reach this goal together!

Why TEAMM4M? Two simple reasons:

• TEAMM4M is devoted exclusively to funding Melanoma research.
• There are no contracts to sign and no fundraising minimums.
