The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour, presented by AVEENO® and Rite Aid will be rolling into 80-plus cities, offering free skin cancer screenings in a state-of-the-art RV-turned-dermatologist’s-office. The Tour, now in its third year, provides free, full-body skin exams by local dermatologists. They are also giving away sun-protection samples and other goodies. And it is completely FREE!
Although they won’t be coming to Idaho (Find out if they’ll be in your city), I wanted to post about it because this is a cause that hits home. Less than a year ago I was diagnosed with Infiltrative Basal Cell Carcinoma (it’s not as awful as it sounds!). I thought I did everything right growing up. While I did spend a lot of time outdoors, we always lathered on the sunscreen. Regardless, I rang in my 30th birthday with an inch and a half missing from my cheek. And it could have been much worse if I didn’t catch it when I did.
So my plea to those of you who have the opportunity to get a free screening: DO IT!!! Don’t think it won’t happen to you! Skin cancer is a lot more common than you might believe it to be. So as the summer sun heats up, get out the sunscreen & the protective clothing, and check to see if The Road to Healthy Skin Tour will be in your town!
Thanks to Good Deal Mama for the info!
Thanks for the reminder Amber! I have a spot I have been wanting to get checked for a couple months and I keep putting it off in favor of other things, but I called today and made my appt! Thanks!
