Dear Spring Breakers
Spring break is a wonderful time of year. A week off from school or work is just what we all need after this long and cold winter. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to enjoy the sunshine. I know how much being out in the sun can make everything better. And I know how beautiful you feel when you skin is golden tan. I also know you want to look young and beautiful for years to come. You can do both, although you must recognize that your skin has a memory and damaging it now can come back to haunt you later in life.
In the beautiful memory of my gorgeous niece Rebeca Campos, I want to help educate you about the dangers of UV rays. Beca’s prayer was that we could someday have a generation free of melanoma. While working to fullfill Beca’s prayer, mine is that it will never happen to you. I share these links with love and concern for your health. Please take the time to watch these videos and help learn to protect yourself – and remember to spread the message to help blackout melanoma for good!
Have a terrific and safe spring break – and remember the sunscreen!
Tena Harjoe,
Board Member, Blackout Melanoma
