      Dear MPIP Community:

      I wanted to share the MRF's COVID-19 Update that was emailed earlier today. The MRF is committed to ensuring that all of our community is informed and supported during and after this unprecedented time. Please take a moment to read through the various steps the MRF is taking to implement social distancing, as well as ways for you to remain involved with our mission of research, education and advocacy.  

      If there is anything you need from the MRF, please know that we are here for you. We are currently exploring ways to modify our postponed in-person educational activities, so if there are questions you need answered or topics you are finding difficult to navigate, please email me directly at [email protected] so we can help find solutions. We are continually monitoring the situation at several major academic medical centers and are in touch with melanoma treatment teams across the nation so we may provide you with pertinent information in a timely manner. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

      All the best,

      Shelby – MRF

          Thank you Shelby (I did not receive it). I wanted to ask if there is a way to follow up for those of us who attended Hill Day – can we set up a sub-group here or an email list to check on each other, follow up on advocacy work and also to share how treatment/access to care is going (after putting faces to names)? Thank you and stay safe! Nadia J.
