Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays is one of the most important preventable factors in the development of #melanoma. We know melanoma is largely preventable when sun protection measures against UV rays are used consistently.
Yet...
We’ve all made excuses about not wearing it: It’s cloudy, I won’t be out that long, it’ll get all over my clothes, I’ll just sweat it off anyway….
It's time to stop with the excuses.
It’s our goal at AIM at Melanoma Foundation to gather 100,350 signatures from people pledging to wear sunscreen every time they step outside.
Why 100,350?
In 2020 it is estimated that 100,350 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive melanoma. This number is entirely too high, and each year the number grows.
It's time for action!
Become an agent of change and help us prevent another person from becoming a melanoma statistic.
