On the morning of Tuesday, July 15, 2025, our beloved General Sherman—our 2005 1st Gen Toyota Sequoia and the heart of Truck Melanoma’s outreach mission—was involved in an automobile accident. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. But General Sherman, the workhorse that’s towed our race truck, the Lentigo, held our Ironman 4x4 mobile clinic set-up and carried us across highways, to racetracks, and community events, has been seriously damaged.
For years, General Sherman hasn’t just been a vehicle. It's been our basecamp for skin checks. Our mobile education center. A sun-safe haven for those learning about melanoma and skin cancer prevention. It's been the symbol of our mission: taking life-saving sun safety education directly to motorsports and automotive enthusiasts—meeting people where they are.
Now, we’re facing an unexpected challenge. Without General Sherman, our ability to bring free skin checks and sun safety outreach to events is at risk.
We need your help.
Repairs and rebuilding won’t be easy—or cheap. Whether it's restoring General Sherman or replacing him with another capable tow rig, every dollar will go directly toward keeping our outreach moving. Your support allows us to continue providing potentially life-saving services, educating communities, and helping catch skin cancer early when it’s most treatable.
If General Sherman has ever inspired you, if you believe in the mission of Truck Melanoma!, we’re asking you to stand with us now.
