Seen. Known. Remembered.
Warrior Stories are written by the families and friends who knew them best, and help turn remembrance into critical research for ocular melanoma.
Ocular melanoma has impacted us all.But this rare cancer doesn't define an individual.
The hardest chapters of a life do not define it. A person is the love they gave, the family they shaped, and the lives they touched.
Warrior Stories
The people who came before can help the next patient.
Families wrote these pages so that others would not walk the same road alone. We gathered what they most wanted a newly diagnosed patient to know, alongside the Foundation's resources.
Tell us about them
Send a remembrance in your own words or from an obituary, with photographs, video, voice recordings, favorite sayings. We build the page with you in one to three business days.
A permanent address
Each Warrior Story has its own link on omlegacy.org for an obituary, a program, or a message to friends. Pages stay up, and stay yours.
Gifts in their name
Friends and family can give in lieu of flowers. Every gift is receipted, the family receives a donor list to thank people personally, and the funds go to eye cancer research.
Ocular melanoma is rare. Research funding is rarer.
Together let's see a cure.
About 2,000 adults are diagnosed in the United States each year, and treatments for metastatic disease are still few. Every gift made here goes to the Ocular Melanoma Foundation's research and patient programs, in the name of someone who fought this disease.
