Melanoma - 120,000 new cases every year in the US

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. If left undiagnosed and untreated, it can cause serious illness and even death. Rarely does Melanoma strike without warning. Generally, there are always indicators and signs of the existence of Melanoma. If found early, Melanoma is almost always curable.

In 2007, Melanoma touched the lives of the Santana Family. They experienced first hand how deadly Melanoma can be when the wife of Johan's agent, Ed Greenberg, passed away at the age of 42. The Greenbergs and Santanas were close; Lynne was a fixture at Santana family events. She was considered a member of the Santanas' extended family.
Melanoma first showed up on Lynne's scalp in 1996. After successful treatment, she was clear from the cancerous disease until 2004, when the Melanoma came back and spread.

Lynne's death impacted the Santana family and inspired them to take action in honor of Lynne's memory and in support of her husband, Ed and their children.
