We are deeply saddened to share the passing of Kristen MacDonald Stablein, a cherished and beloved member of the A Cure In Sight community. Her loss is felt profoundly by all who knew her and by the many lives she touched through her strength, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Kristen was far more than a supporter—she was a leader, an advocate, and a source of encouragement for individuals facing ocular melanoma.
She played an active role in the community, contributing her time and heart to initiatives such as Steps For Sight, lending her voice to meaningful conversations through the organization’s podcast, and representing fellow patients at important events like ASCO. Her presence was constant, and her commitment to helping others never wavered. With remarkable courage and openness, Kristen shared her personal journey, offering hope and reassurance to those navigating similar challenges.
She understood the power of connection and made it her mission to ensure that no one facing this diagnosis felt alone. Her words and actions provided comfort, inspiration, and a sense of belonging during difficult times. Kristen’s kindness, resilience, and spirit will always be remembered. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and advocacy that will continue to guide and inspire the work of A Cure In Sight. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who loved her. As we honor her memory, we remain committed to carrying forward the mission she believed in so deeply.
