About Lookin For A Cure Tampa 5K

Join Us in the Pursuit of a Cure at the Lookin' For A Cure 5K!

Every year, Lookin' For A Cure 5k events light up cities across the United States. These events are not just about running, they are about igniting awareness, and unity in the fight against Ocular Melanoma. By participating, you're not only support groundbreaking research but also bringing together individuals affected by Ocular Melanoma.

A Partnership for Progress

A Cure In Sight collaborates with leading research facilities and dedicated physicians that specialize in Ocular Melanoma treatment. Together, we channel the net proceeds from these events into ongoing research projects and patient support programs. Your involvement directly contributes to advancing the quest for a cure.

Bring your friends and family—all ages are welcome to walk or run with us.
