You're here because you want to do something about melanoma, right? You like to run or think you might want to run a full or half marathon, right? You've heard that charity marathon programs require you to raise a lot of money, right? Not any more!

The TEAMM4M marathon program has NO FUNDRAISING MINIMUMS!  That's right, no minimums. We don't make you sign a contract, ask you to commit to a high fundraising goal or tell you to hand over your credit card number. All we ask is for you to do your best.

We know it’s challenging to raise a lot of money by a certain date, particularly while you're juggling a training schedule and real life. We also know you want to make a difference and help the Melanoma Research Foundation find effective treatments for your friends, family, or even for yourself!

TEAM Runs

Currently we have TEAM runs in DC, Denver, and Jacksonville. We would love to have more!

TEAM training groups depend on local volunteers to help plan the weekend runs. If you want to start a TEAM run in your area, contact us at teamm4m@melanoma.org and we'll help you make that happen.

Running on your own but want to keep in touch with all your TEAMmates?

Join the TEAMM4M Facebook page. Meet others who care about the MRF and melanoma research, talk training and races with your fellow runners; find a friend to run with. We will make regular announcements on our facebook page, so be sure to join!

You DO make a difference!

MRF grant funding comes from runners and donors like you. This year the FDA approved a new drug for melanoma patients – the first new drug in 13 years – partially based on research done by one of our grant recipients. Thank you!

Still not sure if you want to join?

If you don't want to join the TEAM, but would still like to do something for the MRF, read about our Miles for Melanoma program. It’s free! Or go here to compare the two programs.
