Move for Melanoma 2025: A Coast‑to‑Coast Celebration of Hope and Action

This September, Canadians from coast to coast are invited to Move for Melanoma 2025, Save Your Skin Foundation’s signature activity challenge. Now in its 7th year, the event takes place September 27–28, 2025 and encourages participants—individuals, families, teams—to pick their own physical challenge (walk, run, cycle, or another activity) while raising funds and awareness for melanoma, non‑melanoma skin cancers, and ocular melanoma.

Why it Matters

All funds raised through the running event will directly support the Foundation’s vital programming, providing patients with informational resources, personalized guidance, emotional support, financial support and other critical services to help them navigate their journey with strength and hope.

Across Canada, Move for Melanoma is more than just a fundraiser—it's a unified show of support and solidarity for those affected by skin cancer.
