The National Melanoma Alliance is dedicated to reducing the incidence and mortality of this cancer by advocating for a national agenda for melanoma awareness, education and research. Established in 2007, the Alliance leverages the unified strength of melanoma organizations throughout the country. Together, we seek to improve quality of life and survival rates for those with this deadly form of skin cancer and, through research, ultimately defeat it.

Greetings from NMA Don't Fry Day 2010 was held Friday, May 28th, and was a great success! Don't Fry Day (DFD) is sponsored by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention. The NMA is a collaborating organization to the National Council. The Appropriations that have occurred within the
Department of Defense budget were giant milestones for melanoma research, and
we are pleased to have been part of the team contributing to its creation.
Please join us for our bi-monthly NMA Research calls and learn more about how
you can get involved! Melanoma Facts • 60,000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma this year. • One in 50 Americans is expected to be diagnosed with melanoma by 2010. • Melanoma is the primary cause of cancer deaths in women age 25 to 30, and the secondary cause, after breast cancer, in those age 30 to 35.
