Larry’s Legacy was created in memory of a dedicated and beloved businessman, Larry Weathers, Jr., who lost his battle with melanoma in 2012. The 3rd Annual Larry’s Legacy reception will benefit Penn Medicine’s Melanoma Research and Patient Care Fund, which will allow further melanoma research and help other melanoma patients continue their fight.

Moving for Melanoma of Delaware (M4MDE) promotes awareness and provides education on the prevention and risks of melanoma, raises funds for research, and provides support to those affected by melanoma within the community. M4MDE committee members volunteer time and effort to educate the community on the the importance of protecting oneself from the sun by participating in events such as the YMCA Healthy Kids Days, Newark Day, Delaware City Day, and Helen Graham Cancer Center Free Skin Check Days. The M4MDE annual 5K Run/Walk event allows families and friends to come together to celebrate and remember the lives of their loved ones. It gives teams the opportunity to give back and spend time supporting and making a difference in the melanoma world, providing a moment to help those affected by this horrible disease in hopes to ease their fears.
