We are an Ontario charity who are looking for young people who are suffering from, or who have been affected by, melanoma to appear in an educational video. The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund was established in 2007 and is devoted to saving lives from melanoma by promoting awareness of this disease. The Fund was created in loving memory of David Cornfield, who passed away from melanoma in December 2005 at the age of 32. David was my step-brother and left behind a legacy, including a young son.

We are in the process of making an educational video aimed at teaching youth and their caregivers about preventing and detecting melanoma. We plan to distribute the video to summer camps, schools and other stakeholders. We have hired a dynamic well-known production company, Evidently, to help us shoot this video. We are moving things forward very quickly are looking for actual patients (preferably younger people, such as teenagers or young adults) or family members to appear in our video.
The video will be shot in Toronto hopefully around the end of this month. We are not in a position to pay for the appearance but would, of course, cover reasonable expenses i.e. parking.If you or someone you know are able to assist, that would be wonderful. Kindly contact me on this Board post or by email at [email protected] and I can give you some more information.Thank youElyse
