Spring has sprung! Sun protection is not just for vacations - protect your skin daily to reduce your risk of #melanoma. Reduce your time in the sun, seek shade, cover up, wear sunglasses and wear sunscreen. : Pinterest We are proud to raise awareness about melanoma prevention and early detection alongside great partners at the Canadian Melanoma Conference. Thanks @saveyourskinfdn for making it happen! #CMC2019 #melanoma Toronto Mayor @johntory has proclaimed February 6, 2019 Bob Marley Day to honour Marley’s legacy of peace, harmony and the unity of humankind. Many are not aware that Marley died from melanoma at the age of 36. Marley had acral lentiginous melanoma which developed on his foot and spread to his lungs and brain. Acral lentiginous melanoma is found on the palms, soles, under nails and mouth, and is the most common form of melanoma in people of colour. If detected early, melanoma is treatable. Please check your skin regularly and report any changes to your doctor. Use our skin check tools at DCMF.ca. #melanoma #CheckYourSkin #BobMarleyDay
We are proud and grateful to welcome @deloittecanada as the title sponsor of Magic For Melanoma. Deloitte has been there for DCMF from the beginning and remains our most important corporate sponsor. Deloitte’s support is very meaningful to DCMF - David made his mark as an exceptional leader and dear friend to many while working at Deloitte. Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 2 at 6pm. Let’s make melanoma disappear! #SaveTheDate #melanoma Happy Valentine’s Day! Love your loved ones - protect and check their skin. #melanoma The bad news is that melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and one of the fastest rising cancers. The good news is that melanoma is largely preventable. This #WorldCancerDay, let’s defeat melanoma - protect and check your skin. Visit DCMF.ca for tips and tools. #melanoma #IAmAndIWill
On February 24, 2014, our dear friend Meredith Legg Stapleton passed away at the age of 26 from ocular melanoma. She is so missed and is always in our hearts. Our thoughts are with her family and friends on this difficult day. Words cannot adequately capture how special Meredith was but for more information, see http://DCMF.ca/1699 and https://meredithleggstapleton.com #melanoma Did you know that Australia has returned as the country with the highest melanoma rates in the world after New Zealand rose to first place in 2016? Both Australia and New Zealand’s melanoma rates could be overtaken as rates in the UK, Sweden, Norway and Canada are growing between 1.7 per cent and 4.8 per cent per year. #melanoma Announcing MAGIC FOR MELANOMA - our upcoming party to raise funds for #melanoma prevention and awareness. Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 2 at 6pm. Let’s make melanoma disappear! #savethedate
