MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Friends, family, and supporters got together on Sunday, May 5 at Central Standard Distillery for the Milwaukee Walk for Ocular Melanoma, a rare cancer in the eyes.
It was hosted for the third year by Stef's Vision, a foundation dedicated to help raise funds for Ocular Melanoma research and its cure. Stefanie Dorner was diagnosed with the rare cancer in 2020. She underwent treatment at the Mayo Clinic and founded Stef's Vision after struggling to find the right kind of treatment.
"So, that is the whole purpose for me with this walk is to really create a community where those that are newly diagnosed can come together and have some sort of help and background of what to do and where to go," said Stefanie Dorner, Founder of Stef's Vision.
Only about 7,000 people are diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma each year.
Stef's vision has raised thousands of dollars over the last few years, with hundreds of people participating since 2021.
