      I have come to realize my only post on here was about my mothers death. Knowing she was an avid writer on this board, I now hope to continue this tradition.  After my mom passed, I was astonised by how much support I recieved on here. Now, after nearly two years, I'm breaking the silence and vow to be supportive as my mother was when she was on here.

      As far as melanoma awareness goes, I have spoken to the Delaware house of represenatives about melanoma, I am working with Delaware health and social services to push more awareness in my state, and I did my senior research project on melanoma, which I am happy to say i got a 100% on. I will continue my research in college and my advocacy as well. I am studying biology for pre-medicine, maybe not oncology per say, but I would like to save lives. 

      I will be attending Eastern University in St. Davids Pennsylvania, where I am a member of the leadsership fellows program, a scholarship through the school. I hope to use my leadership platform to start a skin cancer group or something of the sort around my sophomore year. 

       

      My prayers go out to all the patients, family members, and anyone else affected by this disease. I know prayers kept my mother alive better than any medicine could, and it can work for you too.

      If anyone would like to email me regarding awareness, grieving, coping, or any research, you can contact me at [email protected] as I regularly check this email. 

       

      Blessings to all and stay strong, 

      Lilith Elmore

      Freshman at Eastern University, Biology major

                      Greetings to you Lilith!

                      It's always wonderful to hear from family after losing one of our beloved MPIP family and to know that life goes on, despite our heartache and that good things come from our suffering.  Congratulations on your scholarship and I know you will go on to do great things in honor of your Mother's life.  

                      Your Mom was such an inspiration on the MPIP BB and always, no matter how bad things seemed to be for her, she always found the silver lining in everything and I remember how sad I felt when you told us of her passing.  I look back now at all the old posts and see so many others that are gone now too.  Melanoma is such a formidable opponent and it can be so discouraging to battle.  But battle we must and also keep our spirits high, which your Mother did so eloquently and with great  zealous and inspired all of us here, she has been  truly missed.

                      Thank you Lilith for all you are doing to continue fighting this battle, with us and on your Mother's behalf.  You're strength, fortitude and your Mother's spirit  will guide you and bring us all closer to a future that holds more promise for winning the battle against melanoma.  Blessings to you and your family.

                            Thank you Swanee, people like you are why my mom enjoyed using this board. I will try to stay active on this board, but as a pre med student it may be a hard feat. Everyone is in my prayers, and you can count on that!
