Let us be inspired by the words of one of our past attendees and OM patient, Allie Dashow:

“Attending the Eyes on a Cure symposium was an extraordinary experience and unforgettable. I met fellow ocular melanoma patients for the first time and found a supportive community that truly understands the journey of living with an OM cancer diagnosis. Science Sunday and touring the OM research lab was incredible. It was so surreal to be standing in the very room where researchers and doctors will hopefully continue to make progress and advancements and find a cure for this awful disease.”
