Malignant Melanoma Research Fund - Factor 50 Fundraisers

Welcome to our website. We hope you will find the site useful and spend time browsing the various areas. The Factor 50 Fundraising Group was born in the Autumn of 2007.

Gill Nuttall   had a friend with Malignant Melanoma, (a form of skin cancer) and having seen the struggle he faced, she wanted to try and help create some awareness of the disease, and also raise some much needed funds.  We are in close contact with the research team at the Christie Hospital and they provide us with updates in relation to the work they are carrying out into research surrounding Malignant Melanoma.   

There are various fundraising events going on throughout the coming months and each individual/group has their own page. Please log on to their pages, have a look at the great efforts that are being made and if you are sponsoring them, follow the links to the online donations.

We hope that through our efforts we can make a difference to people suffering from Malignant Melanoma, raise awareness of the importance of skin care and protection in the sun.

For all enquiries regarding our work, please contact us online and we will do our best to get back to you within 24 hours.

We are often approached by friends and family of malignant melanoma patients asking if they can help.   We appreciate all efforts, no matter how small.  Visit the news section for more information.
