melanoma month

may is melanoma awareness month.

this morning i read this post.

so many of her words are exactly what i would write myself.

i also was obviously inspired knowing her story, and that she is now years out from getting clear scans after initially being told she had 6 months to live.

on my facebook account today i posted this video again. i want people to see this and be reminded of how important it is to protect the skin you are in. and to protect the skin of those you love.

next month my friend beth and i will co-captain team "cancer you can suck it" for the 2016 shore walk to raise funds for fred hutchinson cancer research. if you would like to join us (i am hoping that i feel well enough to walk this year) or donate to our team, you can do so here.

i am tired and going to try and get some sleep.

i hope your week gets off to a great start. xo
