Message from MNC's Board Chair, Annette Cyr
Summer days are rapidly winding down. I have savoured the freedom of the outdoors, the luxury of sitting on a patio with friends, and the ability to take in the sights and sounds of the city once again. However, always in the back of my mind is the ongoing struggle many in our cancer community are facing with the added layer of COVID-19, on top of a cancer diagnosis. 
New Peer2Peer Melanoma & Skin Cancer Support Program
Melanoma Network of Canada is happy to announce that we have updated our online National Peer Support Volunteer training. We are actively recruiting new volunteers into the program. If you have lived experience as a melanoma or skin cancer patient and are 1 year post treatment or a caregiver to someone who has been diagnosed with melanoma or skin cancer and want to support others in their journey reach out to Mary Zawadzki, patient care specialist at mzawadzki@melanomanetwork.ca to get involved and complete your training today!
We would like to thank and acknowledge Merck Canada for providing partial funding for Melanoma Patient Support Programming.
Melanoma, My Invisible Enemy for 11 years
No words can be truer! Cancer has been my invisible enemy for 11 years. My name is Brandon Smith and I have Stage 4 Metastasis Melanoma.
I was first introduced to cancer in 2010 when I had a mole removed. It came back as Stage 4 Melanoma. Like most people, I didn't know how to take it. Here I was a healthy 30 year old man, but cancer doesn't care who you are or how old.
