Campaign by A Cure In Sight (RCN 461274306)
Joey One Eyed Joe one of our athletes is a survivor of Ocular Melanoma and weve deicided to create a workout and a fundraiser to help A Cure in Sight with their research and education of the rare eye cancer.

Story

A Cure In Sight was founded to provide patient support services for Ocular Melanoma eye cancer patients. Ocular Melanoma (OM), also known as Uveal Melanoma, is the most common primary cancer of the eye in adults. Our patient population is unique in that our numbers are small with only an estimated 2,500 new diagnoses (US) per year. This alone has gained us rare cancer status. The prognosis for those patients diagnosed with ocular melanoma can be dire. At this time, half of those diagnosed with OM will see their disease spread to other parts of the body. And, once metastasized, it is nearly always fatal. Currently there is no cure for metastatic ocular melanoma. There are, however, promising new treatments being prescribed, as well as new clinical trials and targeted therapies being proposed. These emerging treatment opportunities will only be made possible through research funding. Unfortunately, funding dollars are critically low.
