National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Awareness Month
May 1 All day
With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is America’s most common cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable cancers. By sharing facts about the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and encouraging people to check their skin for warning signs, we can and will save lives.
We can’t do this work alone.
Skin Cancer Awareness Month is a time for us to speak up about the dangers of skin cancer, share the facts about sun protection and early detection to help save lives. This year, we are spreading awareness around the fact that #SkinCancerIsPersonal and affects people in many ways, both physically and emotionally. We’re also sharing that #SkinCancerIsSerious and IS a big deal! Thank you for helping to amplify these important messages.
