A Cure in Sight

In honor of Meghan’s courageous fight with what she always called the “dumb eye cancer, so dumb” —Ocular Melanoma. This rare disease affects only about 3,500 people in the U.S. each year and, heartbreakingly, has no known cure or standard treatment plan. A Cure in Sight is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness, funding research, and supporting Ocular Melanoma patients and their caregivers. Please consider donating in Meghan’s memory to help others like her receive the best possible care and, we hope one day, find a cure.

Gregg Katz was just 50 years old when he was diagnosed with an ocular (eye) melanoma.  A very rare cancer of the eye that affects just 6 people in a million.  Radiation was used to eradicate the melanoma, leaving Gregg with perfect vision and feeling well.  He went back to cheering on his 3 kids at all of their sporting events, as well as his beloved Kentucky Wildcats. Sadly, seven years later, Gregg began experiencing abdominal pain. Testing revealed the melanoma had metastasized to his liver.   Gregg fought hard for three months, but on August 29, 2017, he passed away leaving his wife Shirley and their three chidren: Jocelyn, Jordyn and Ethan. If Gregg could be here today, he would say thank you for supporting a great cause to find a cure for this terrible  disease, and a friendly reminder to please get regular eye exams.  Please come out to support this outstanding event and tribute to Gregg.
