The MPIP Bookstore includes a selection of books that are valuable for learning more about melanoma. All of the books on our list have been recommended by readers of the MPIP Bulletin Board who are either melanoma patients or their caregivers. We receive a percentage of each book purchased through our bookstore which helps to fund the operational costs of this site. If you'd like to alert us to any books that you've found to be helpful, please drop us a note.
The MPIP Travel Help page has links to organizations that offer free air travel to patients who need to travel long distances for treatment.
The Melanoma Research Foundation is a charitable organization founded by melanoma patients and survivors. The MRF seeks donations to fund research and provide other services to melanoma patients. The MRF is staffed by volunteers so nearly all individual donations go directly to fund research. Patients interested in supporting the MPIP are encouraged to do so through a contribution to the MRF.
