AMESA and you: Together against melanoma since 2000!

In 2000, in a hospital room in Nantes, George Laval fought against a formidable adversary: ​​melanoma. But instead of letting himself be overwhelmed by the illness, an idea germinates within him. Why not transform your own ordeal into a source of hope for others? Thus was born the association law 1901 AMESA, driven by the desire to provide support and comfort to those fighting skin cancer.

Quickly, other heroes joined the cause: nurses and doctors from the department where George Laval was hospitalized, relatives of patients… All share the same determination to make a difference. Today, AMESA has 20 volunteers, including 7 people mobilized on the ground to carry out the association’s actions.

Their mission? Listen to and support people with melanoma and their loved ones, support research and inform, raise awareness about sun prevention, particularly through workshops and interventions. And all this, financed by every cent donated by the association’s contributors. Because AMESA is a non-profit organization, whose volunteers are driven solely by the desire to make a difference, with the help of donors.

Joining or supporting AMESA means joining a large family engaged in a vital struggle. It’s about being someone’s hero, even when times are dark. Because together we are stronger, and together we can fight melanoma, one step at a time.
