Charity training program TEAM M4M joins Running USA.
TEAM M4M (Miles for Melanoma), created by Kevin Stenstrom and Kendel Paulsen in conjunction with the Melanoma Research Foundation, provides a team training approach to the MRF’s national Miles for Melanoma program, which aims to raise melanoma awareness and funds to support promising medical research. As a member of TEAM M4M, participants benefit from an extensive training program led by seasoned marathon coaches and build camaraderie with other runners through team training. Funds raised are donated to the MRF’s Research Grant Program. Initiating the program around the 2008 Philadelphia Marathon, TEAM M4M aims to add additional marathons to its training program in order to help runners across the country train on behalf of melanoma research. The program kicks off on June 14 with the first team being created in the Washington DC area including Northern Virginia and Maryland. More information may be found at www.melanoma.org.
