Support Melanoma Research

Robyn Hamel:

Being a native San Diego, Robyn always had a passion for being outdoors, enjoying the Southern California weather and, like many, was not aware of the damage she caused to her skin.  She was diagnosed with Melanoma (after a prior mis-diagnosis in 2005), and has become very passionate about bringing awareness to others about the different types of skin cancer , and the importance of accurate diagnosis and screening.  Robyn’s continued fight against Melanoma over the past 13 years, including repeated removals, has enabled her via her story to make a difference in people’s lives.

Arnold Abernathy:

Graduate of Santa Clara University, Arnold wanted to do something that would have a positive impact on society after his close friend, Eric Martin, was diagnosed and struggled for some years with Melanoma.  A native of San Diego, CA, Arnold now lives in Florida and works for a software company focusing on API Managment and Cyber Security.  He leverages his 15+ years of consulting experience to Stage FREE Melanoma as the primary Secretary on the board.
