Melanoma March 2021 was an online event which ran from March to April. The initiative was to cover Australia in footprints and asking everyone to step up and leave their footprint on melanoma. Thank you to everyone who purchased a footprint and made a donation. The fundraiser was a great success and we hope to hold physical events in the future so we can all come together to support, inspire and remember.
Melanoma March has continued to grow year-on-year and is now a collaborative effort between MIA and AMRF giving the campaign a truly national reach.

The Australian Melanoma Research Foundation continues to partner with the MIA in the annual Melanoma March campaign. AMRF Chair Wayne Harvey says the relationship with the MIA is an example of how organisations with a similar purpose can cooperate and provide the Australian community with various ways of supporting a common purpose.
Dr Harvey said the AMRF has two fundamental pillars, that of raising awareness of the risks of melanoma and that of providing young and emerging researchers with funds towards research aimed at improving the management of melanoma and reducing the number of deaths from the cancer.
“The AMRF has been able to support young researchers in various parts of Australia only because of the generosity of the Australian public” he said.
