Why support Beat Melanoma
Costs for melanoma treatments and trials, medications, and other support services are huge. We believe that everyone should have equal access to treatment and support, regardless of their financial position.
But we can’t do it without you.
Neil's Story
It was Neil Evans’ final wish that every patient have equal access to treatment.
Our Patient Fund
Supporting late-stage melanoma patients to access treatments, trials, and other vital services.
Backed by MIA
Our funds are distributed in association with Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA).
”Sadly, Neil lost his battle [with melanoma] in June 2021. In his final days he spoke of his desire to set up a foundation to enable people with less financial means than himself to have access to the latest treatment options. Today, our Patient Fund is helping others have a fighting chance to beat their melanoma!
Sonia NazaretianFounder, Neil Evans Melanoma Foundation
”Although the drugs may not have worked in him, Neil was hopeful that someone down the track in his position may actually benefit. At MIA, our mission is a simple one – zero deaths from melanoma. The Neil Evans Melanoma Foundation will be an important part of this journey.
Professor Georgina Long, AOCo-Medical Director, Melanoma Institute Australia
”I became a recluse and I felt totally incapacitated. I just wanted it all to stop.
