      Dear MPIP Community,

      It is bittersweet that I let you know my last day with the MRF will be tomorrow, Friday, August 28.

      I have accepted a position with ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer as the Vice President of Patient Programs and Education. I will be responsible for implementing and evolving ZERO’s programmatic strategy and will lead the operations and growth of ZERO’s patient programs. This opportunity will allow me to advance in my career while still helping to meet the needs of cancer patients.

      As some of you know, I've been with the MRF since 2010. I've had the amazing opportunity meet so many people in the melanoma communtiy and can't tell you how much each of you and your stories mean to me. Being in this role has made me a better colleague, friend and person. I will always be a melanoma advocate and will never stop fighting for you and your families. I will miss you and hope that our paths will cross again.

      If you need anything from the MRF team, my colleague, Lauren Johnston, will be taking over some of my responsibilities. Please don't hesitate to reach out to her any time at [email protected]

      All the best,

      Shelby – MRF

          10 years is long enough in a job; time for new challenges.
          Thanks for contributing to a site that helps so many people.
          I think you’ll find that those prostrate people aren’t nearly as charming and fun as the melanoma crowd 😉 so please drop in now and then.
          Bon vent.
