For Megan King, the New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K is more than a race—it’s a tribute, a promise and a fight for a future without melanoma. 💙 After losing her father to metastatic melanoma 18 years ago, Megan and her family turned to the MRF for support, resources and a community that understood their journey. For the past 17 years, they have helped lead the New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K in his honor and to support the research that is changing lives.

As the MRF celebrates its 30th anniversary and the 20th Annual New Jersey Miles for Melanoma 5K, Megan continues to turn loss into action—raising hope for patients, families and future generations.
