On April 21, 2012 The Farrell Family and The Susan Fazio Foundation are joining forces to raise funds for melanoma research at the 2012 River Edge Run.  The funds will be used to fund melanoma programs at  NYU Medical Center , Memorial Sloan Kettering and The Susan Fazio Foundation's  educational and research initiatives for melanoma.

Steve Farrell was an active member of the community in River Edge and succumbed to melanoma in April 2010. Since his initial diagnosis in 1998 Steve fought to raise awareness and funds for melanoma research. In 2002 after his second bout with melanoma he began the" Miles for Melanoma" program when he ran in the NYC marathon. Steve was a courageous dad who fought the disease with a vengeance and vowed to continue the fight.

Please join us on April 21st and help us to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for this devastating disease!

About Melanoma
Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, is one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States and can strike men and women of all ages, all races and skin types. In fact, with a one in 50 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, more than 70,000 Americans were expected to be diagnosed with the disease in 2011, resulting in 8,790 deaths or one person every hour. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults 25- to 29-years-old and the second most common cancer in adolescents and young adults 15- to 29-years-old.
