2016 Melanoma March

Melanoma March was established in 2012 by Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA). The inaugural Melanoma March, held in Manly, was initially a local event honouring the memory of those who have died from melanoma, while also providing an opportunity to raise vital funds and awareness.

The event quickly grew, becoming a national initiative of MIA and the major annual fundraising campaign to support ongoing melanoma research. Melanoma March has continued to grow year-on-year. In 2016, their goal is to raise significant funds for a national research project, continuing our work to find a cure for melanoma.

Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc and Melanoma Institute Australia will be joining forces to raise money for national melanoma research as they amalgamate their independent fundraising events. Melanoma March Melbourne will mark the 10th anniversary of March Against Melanoma™ (formerly March for Melanoma) which was originally founded by Louise White of the Emily Tapp Melanoma Foundation Inc in 2007.

Wadaiko Rindo are proud to support the initiative by performing for all participants on the day.
