May Is Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month

May 2021 marks Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month. This year, we are all about making your voice heard. While sharing your story can be an empowering way to spread awareness, it is not the only way. Below, we have tools for connecting and making the most of awareness month. No one's skin cancer journey is the same. We want to highlight all of your unique experiences throughout the month. From skin checks and biopsies to surgeries and treatment, we are here for you every step of the way.
