A story I’ve been reading recently has really touched me, and I felt I needed to post something here about it.
You see, I’ve been hanging out on a few online forums for the last few years. I’ve ‘met’ all kinds of women, mostly from Canada, from all walks of life.
One woman named Sarah caught my eye with her postings about cancer. See, she’d been diagnosed with melanoma at the age of 27, and was trying to educate others about it. Now it’s been several years since her initial diagnosis, and she’s not going to make it. Some of her story has been posted to her blog, with the last few postings from her husband.
Skin cancer is NOT just found in the elderly. More and more young people are being diagnosed with it.
Wear sunscreen, folks. Make sure you choose a good one with both UVA and UVB protection. A tan might look pretty, but it isn’t worth the risk.
