In memory of Sam Keen

By supporting the Sam Keen Foundation, your donation will help us to continue our research into cures for malignant melanoma. 

A foundation in Sam's name

Remaining positive during his 7-year experience of malignant melanoma, Sam Keen underwent 20 operations to remove tumours as well as chemotherapy, and radiotherapy and being involved in cutting-edge drug trials for melanoma drugs. When Sam died, his family and friends decided that a foundation in his name would support us in the search for cures for skin cancer. Over £650,000 has been donated to date, surpassing their initial target of half a million pounds. The money raised so far has been used to sponsor Research Fellows, and supported the work of Dr Andrew Furness and Professor James Larkin developing treatments and improving outcomes for those with melanoma.
