From the Organizer
Every year, Lookin' For A Cure 5K events light up cities across the United States. These events are not just about running; they are about igniting awareness and unity in the fight against ocular melanoma. By participating, you not only support groundbreaking research but also bring together individuals affected by ocular melanoma.
A Cure In Sight collaborates with leading research facilities and dedicated physicians specializing in ocular melanoma treatment. Together, we channel the net proceeds from these events into ongoing research projects and patient support programs. Your involvement directly contributes to advancing the quest for a cure.
Come be a part of our Fifth Annual "Lookin' For a Cure" in the serene surroundings of Chapparal Park in Scottsdale. On Sunday, November 8th, from 8 am to 11 am, join A Cure in Sight for a walk or run that goes beyond the scenic beauty. Together, we'll take steps to combat ocular melanoma, a rare eye cancer that affects approximately 3,000 new cases each year across the nation. Bring your friends and family—all ages are welcome to walk or run with us. Leashed dogs are allowed to walk the 5k.
