Your Next Step is the Cure (Sat. Oct. 5th), will embark on its seventh year of bringing awareness and raising funds for a rare cancer called Ocular Melanoma. We listened to the feedback and how much you all loved the new location, and we're excited about returning to the lovely Alderman’s Ford Park. We are so grateful for last year’s efforts and the amount of money that we were able to raise for the Melanoma Research Foundation – CURE OM. Ocular melanoma is a rare cancer that affects six out of one million people each year; while strides have been made, unfortunately there is still no known cure. We plan to hold another successful event but we know that our success comes from individuals like YOU!! Thank you for registering! Please spread the word….hopefully, some day soon we will have a cure for ocular melanoma!

The Your Next Step is the Cure is on Saturday October 5, 2024. It includes the following events: 5K Run and Virtual Run 5K.
