In 2001, I was diagnosed with Melanoma after having a mole removed from my calf.  I had successful surgery and was in remission until the summer of 2019.  I have stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma. and being treated at at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston MA.  It became important to me that any one with the risk of melanoma understand how to prevent melanoma and why I created the Dave Worden Classic.  Melanoma  is a cancer that needs more research to find a cure. The Dave Worden Classic was created to raise awareness to prevent melanoma and money to cure it.  In 2020, we raised over $28,000.   For 2021, we have raised $55,807.
