War on Melanoma

One thing to remember with the fight against melanoma is we are not in it alone. Here are Truck Melanoma we are aligned with Start Seeing Melanoma as well as the War on Melanoma™ here in the Portland Oregon area at Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU.) 

The fight against melanoma deaths is multifaceted, and one of the ways that you can also get involved and help stay up to date on what is going on in the world of melanoma is https://www.ohsu.edu/war-on-melanoma/melanoma-community-registry 

"The Melanoma Community Registry is a major resource of volunteers used to fight the War on Melanoma™. There are many questions about melanoma risk, early detection, and treatment that need answers, whether from a personal perspective or that of a cancer researcher. The Melanoma Community Registry was developed to speed the research process by identifying people affected by this disease and/or interested in learning or doing more. By having an engaged community of volunteers, studies enroll more quickly, education is spread more broadly, public policy is changed more effectively. This is a place where you can have a voice and make a direct impact. It is a key resource for waging a War on Melanoma™." (OHSU.edu, 2023)

"As of April 20th, 2020, 9,244 melanoma survivors, family members and friends have already joined the Registry."

"The people who have had the disease, who care about preventing it, finding out how to best treat it, and educating people about it are our best army. These are our warriors." 
-Dr. Sancy Leachman, Chair of the Department of Dermatology and Melanoma Program Director at the Knight Cancer Institute (OHSU.edu, 2023)

Together we can fight melanoma deaths across all aspects, through the motorsports community and beyond!
