Aahhhh.  Summer.  My family and I enjoy spending lots of time outside in summer, whether it be by the pool, at the park, riding our bikes or just enjoying our backyard.  I make sure to apply sunblock no matter what outdoor activity we are engaged in.   Do you make sure to protect your family’s skin with sunblock?  You should.  Even if it’s cloudy.  Apply that sunblock.  Skin cancer kills.  

Do you get an annual cancer sceening?  Check out the Road to Healthy Skin Tour presented by Aveeno and Rite Aid.  You can get a FREE skin cancer screening by a local board-certified dermatologist courtesy of the Road to Healthy Skin Tour.  Their customized tour bus will be making stops at over 80 locations across the country through September 2009. Look for it in your area! 

Since May, the Road to Healthy Skin 2008 Tour has traveled 17,650 miles and made 81 stops all around the U.S. Over 3,000 visitors have been screened and 3,200 suspected Skin Cancers and 39 suspected Melanoma have been detected. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, but early detection can help save these visitors’ lives. 

Slather on that sunblock and enjoy your summer.  Be well.
