WHY: The vision for the Beca’s Five benefit walk & fun run is that it may serve as a special opportunity where people can gather to, as Beca would say, “be aware, take time to share, show that you care”. This inspiring young lady envisioned a society where no one else encounters the dangerous diagnosis of metastatic melanoma skin cancer – a Melanoma FREE generation! There is no known cure for metastatic melanoma. However, we know that through awareness and early detection, metastatic melanoma skin cancer can be prevented.
Founder and President of Blackout Melanoma, Aneta Campos, said, “Every hour Melanoma takes another life. Melanoma kills an estimated 9,710 people in the US annually. If melanoma is recognized and treated early, it is almost always curable. Our hope is to one day blackout melanoma. Blackout Melanoma would like to thank all of the sponsors and donors who make this possible. Please join us in our fight.”
