Ocular Melanoma Steps for Sight 2024

Grab your friends and Family and let’s walk together towards a cure for Ocular Melanoma! Each year, roughly 7,000 individuals worldwide are diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma. Because it is a rare orphan cancer, this diagnosis often feel lonely and hopeless.
We challenge you to join us in January 2024 in taking 7,000 steps each day of the month in honor of those patients who will begin to walk the path of ocular melanoma this year, as well as all the patients currently living with this rare disease. We believe we are all created for impact and while alone we may not feel we can do much, we are so much better together.
Walk with us not only to kickstart a healthy new year, but more importantly to see progress in Ocular Melanoma research. As you participate in Steps for Sight, every step you take and every dollar raised will bring us closer to funding critical research needed for a cure.
To increase the impact of this worldwide initiative, A Cure In Sight is partnering with the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) in 2023, to maximize the benefits from the funds raised. A Cure In Sight will once again work with MRA to jointly issue the grant award and make the announcement in the following calendar year.
The money we raised last year will be matched by MRA to fund a 2-year research grant for Ocular Melanoma. Grant proposals have been received and are currently undergoing the MRA’s meticulous grant review process. Once proposals have been approved, we will work with MRA to jointly issue the grant award and make the announcement in Spring 2024.
This year with your help, we can fund another actionable research project exclusively for Ocular Melanoma. We are always better together - so don’t wait! Register and start a team for Steps for Sight today!

As the mother of a brave 27-year-old daughter with OM (choroidal melanoma), Eleanor Levine, I'm game for this challenge too! BTW, Ellie was the editor of this video

As a person with OM, I will do this. I need to sign up.
