About this episode

Melody shares the story behind the Lookin' For A Cure 5K and its significance for the ocular melanoma community.

In Episode 10 of My 15 Years, Melody shares the story behind the creation of Lookin' For A Cure 5K and how a small community event grew into an important tradition for the ocular melanoma community. She talks about what inspired the first race, the work that goes into organizing an event year after year, and why bringing patients, caregivers, families, and supporters together matters so much. Of course, not every year has gone according to plan. Through the challenges, surprises, and memorable moments, the mission has remained the same: bringing hope, awareness, and community to those affected by ocular melanoma. Whether you've participated in a Lookin' For A Cure 5K, volunteered, donated, or are hearing about it for the first time, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep the event going and why it continues to make a difference.
