As most of you all know, we lost our father, Philip John Ricco, to Melanoma almost 4 years ago.  To help keep his spirit and memory alive, our family is participating in the 2nd Annual New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K Run/2 Mile Walk on Sunday, September 21st at the Township of Morris Municipal Complex. (49 Woodland Ave, Morristown, NJ  07960) 

Lat year was highly successful, and this year will be even better.  We exceeded our goal of $50,000 last year, and this year were going for $100,000.  There is no current cure for Melanoma, only treatment.  That's why it's so personally important to me to raise this money. All proceeds go to the research, education and advocacy for Melanoma.  We made a promise that we will do this until there IS a cure.

If you would like to make a contribution, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  If you would also like to run or walk, please visit www.melanoma.org for registration instructions, or we would be happy to register you as well. It's $25 to register, and you get a T-shirt, but they're limited!

If you would feel more comfortable in sending a check, you can make it out to The Melanoma Research Foundation, and on the lower left line, please put NJ Miles For Melanoma, Phil Ricco.  Address is MRF, 170 Township Line Road,Building B, Hillsborough, NJ  08844.  Or call, 1-800-MRF-1290.  Also feel free to forward this to as many people that you think would be interested.

Thank you again for your continued love and support.

The Philip John Ricco Family
