Kelly battled a rare melanoma subtype known as Ocular Melanoma. This type of melanoma is very rare and typically progresses to the liver which it did in Kelly's case. While she was fighting this disease, several new treatments became available which helped to delay the progression and give her several more years to pursue her passions and spend time with family.

Researchers are learning more about the biology,
genetics and natural history of OM, allowing them
to explore new and promising treatments. The MRF
offers grants to researchers through the CURE OM
initiative in order to speed the pace of discovery.
Continuous support of research is the only way to
achieve the advances patients need. Contribute to Melanoma Research Foundation

All contributions made to Melanoma Research Foundation through Ever Loved will be sent with the designation, “Wherever it is needed most”, at James Abbott's request.
