We take our cap off to John who raised over $1,000 doing his very own Dry July to raise critical funds for Melanoma Patients Australia. Who will join John and the MPA team in next year's Dry July? Or perhaps you have another community fundraising idea and don't have to wait until July?

So exciting!
Mark is already a winner in our eyes but here at MPA we're cheering for him as he battles the other Survivors to make a difference for melanoma patients. Mark's brother, Herman, was an integral part of making MPA what it is today, beginning support groups around Australia as well as supporting many individuals impacted by melanoma.

The reality star plans to donate $100,000 to charity.Not much sun safety on old Survivor I guess sunburnt bodies make for better tv.Kudos to Mark for what he's trying to achieve though
I will be cheering for Mark from now on.
Go Mark. ❤️❤️

It is with deep regret that the MPA team has made the difficult decision to cancel the Melanoma Information Forum to be held in Sydney on Saturday 5th August 2017.
Despite our best efforts over many weeks, unfortunately enough registrations have not been forthcoming to justify the expense of holding the event. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this cancellation.
Oh no. How many more did you need?? Looks like we aren't going to Sydney this weekend Matt Love
Oh so sad such a large City such a poor response!
I would have loved to attend,unfortunately I live in Melbourne 😞
Hats off to the MPA Team for doing their best....
Am devastated. Was so looking forward to meeting some of my fb MPA friends.
Does SA ever hold a forum?
Sorry did not seem to receive any marketing of the event in time and by the time I saw it on facebook already had arranged something on the day. Otherwise would have been very interested in the event.
I really wanted to attend, but such an early start stopped me registering.
Thanks for the feedback Elizabeth Liu and Kim Carter.
