Moving for Melanoma of Delaware Supports Melanoma Research at Johns Hopkins

Members of the Johns Hopkins Melanoma Program participated in an annual 5K walk/run event and received funds raised by the event during a visit in February.

The 5K event in Wilmington, Delaware, and sponsored by Moving for Melanoma of Delaware for the past 11 years raises money for melanoma research, community education and support patients and family members in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

During a visit to Johns Hopkins in February, members of Moving for Melanoma of Delaware presented a check to the melanoma program from funds raised during their September event. The money will be used to support melanoma research in clinics and laboratories at Johns Hopkins.
