We're proud to be a sponsor of the Miles for Melanoma Walk this Saturday September 14th in NYC. Our founder Dr. Marmur, a three-time skin cancer survivor, and our team will be walking alongside fellow melanoma patients, survivors caregivers and supporters to help raise awareness and funds for this important cause. If you're walking, please stop by our MMSkincare self-care pop-up shop.⁣

Melanoma is the deadliest and fastest growing form of skin cancer and we all want a cure to be found soon. Miles for Melanoma is the way people come together to take action and help support this fight and the mission of the Melanoma Research Foundation.

Every step matters and every step counts. Significant advancement has been made in the past few years in improved detection, new drug treatments and better survival rates. This progress has been built on the breakthroughs made fighting other types of cancers, as well as the existing foundation of melanoma research.

There is more to be done and a long way to go, but the finish line is in sight. The energy, enthusiasm and encouragement from patients, survivors, families, friends, caregivers, and the medical community impacts many lives and many future.

Skin Cancer, Take A Hike!

MMSkincare is also a proud supporter of
Skin Cancer, Take a Hike!

Dr. Ellen Marmur & MMSkincare supports Skin Cancer Awareness from Africa to Iceland!


Did you know that at high altitudes, sun exposure is increased exponentially? Skin Cancer, Take a Hike!™ was launched by Dr. Ellen Marmur in 2014 to raise funds to skin cancer prevention and detection. She dedicated 100% of her fundraising to the AAD’s SPOT Skin Cancer campaign.

Skin Cancer, Take a Hike! went viral with amazing dermatologists and their communities, and Dr. Marmur has led hikes all over the world like Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Patagonia in South America, Talkeetna in Alaska, and even one extreme adventurer has taken SCTAH to Mount Everest!

The goal is to show we can live our lives to the fullest, exercising, hiking, and enjoying the sun wisely! We are educating the public about skin cancer prevention and detection so we will help change behaviors and ultimately save lives.

With 8,500 people in the United States diagnosed with skin cancer every day, and with one American dying every single hour, it is vital to MMSkincare and the AAD to provide valuable education and awareness campaigns, access to shade structures, and free skin cancer screenings to reduce mortality rates. Join us to help reduce the incidence of skin cancer. No amount is too small!

You may have heard that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer. But did you know that when caught early, skin cancer has a 98% cure rate! That’s why raising awareness about skin cancer prevention and detection is so important to the members of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). It’s also why MMSkincare is dedicating months of preparation and a week away from our work and families for this event.
