Nonprofit Gives $800,000 for Melanoma Research in 2009

"Generous donations made to the MRF are the key to funding these potentially life-saving research programs, and the high quality of grant applications this year is testament to the desperate need for greater research funding," said C. Randy Lomax, chairman of the MRF's board of directors. "It is our hope that by funding these research proposals we move one step closer to new, better treatment options and ultimately a cure for melanoma."
