Melanoma can kill and our objective is to make people aware of the dangers that sunbeds and excessive UV exposure can cause, and also the importance of checking moles or any other lumps and bumps on our bodies as early diagnosis is crucial to avoid melanoma spreading.

In Great Britain, malignant melanoma incidence rates have increased more rapidly than any of the current ten most common cancers in males and females. More than 11,600 cases of malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of the disease are diagnosed every year in the UK and over 2,000 will die from the disease this year alone.
