SUMMARY:Melanoma March 2023
DESCRIPTION:Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) is calling on all Australians to step up and join its 2023 Melanoma March campaign\, to support ground-breaking research and raise awareness about the disease that claims one Australian life every six hours. \nMIA’s Melanoma March events will be held in every state and territory during March 2023. Organised by volunteer committees impacted by melanoma\, the local events raise vital funds for melanoma research as well as provide an opportunity for patients and families to come together to support each other and remember those lost to the disease. \nWe urge Australians to sign up to help us tackle this disease\, which is known as Australia’s national cancer. \nAustralia has the highest melanoma rates in the world\, with one person diagnosed every 30 minutes and one person dying from the disease every 6 hours. It is also the most common cancer affecting 20-39 year old Australians. Currently\, 50% of advanced melanoma patients don’t respond or become resistant to new immunotherapy treatments. \nMelanoma March events are a family-friendly 4km walk. Most events are pram and wheelchair accessible\, and most are dog friendly. \nThose who can’t attend an event can still support the campaign by getting active and hosting a March Your Way activity with friends or individually. \nPlease click on the website link below to find out more about your local event. \nFIND YOUR NEAREST MARCH\, REGISTER NOWCost to Register: \nCosts to attend a physical event are: \n\nAdults (over 18 years) $40\nChild (5-17 years) $20\nChild (under 5) Free\nFamily deal: Register 2 x Adults and up to 5 Children (5-17 yrs) for $100.

SUMMARY:Melanoma March 2024
DESCRIPTION:Melanoma March events are being held across Australia for the 13th year to raise awareness and support Melanoma Institute Australia’s life-saving research. \nMelanoma Institute Australia (MIA) is calling on all Australians to join its 2024 Melanoma March campaign\, to support life-saving research and raise awareness about the disease that claims one Australian life every six hours. \nNow open for registrations\, MIA’s Melanoma March events will be held across the country during March 2024. Organised by volunteer committees impacted by melanoma\, the local events raise vital funds for melanoma research which we hope will also impact other cancers. Importantly\, the events also provide an opportunity for patients and families to come together to support each other and remember those lost to the disease. \nAustralia has the highest melanoma rates in the world\, with one person diagnosed every 30 minutes and one person dying from the disease every 6 hours. It is also the most common cancer affecting 20-39 year old Australians. Currently\, 50% of advanced melanoma patients don’t respond or become resistant to new immunotherapy treatments. \nFind your local event via the button below. If there is not an event in your area\, or if you can’t attend an event\, you can still support the campaign by getting creative and hosting a March Your Way activity with friends or individually – or by making a donation. \nREGISTER NOW OR DONATECost to Register: \nCosts to attend a physical event are: \n\nAdults (over 18 years) $40\nChild (5-17 years) $20\nChild (under 5) Free\nFamily deal: Register 2 x Adults and up to 5 Children (5-17 yrs) for $80.
