Skin Cancer is something that many of us do not even consider. Deena Kastor, the 2004 Olympic bronze medalist in the marathon has joined the Outrun the Sun foundation to encourage all to participate (and you can do it from anywhere), by running or walking in the month of May. The note below gives you the details and also provides a strong website.
And remember to pass this around to your teams and your friends and family. Getting checked for skin abnormalities can save a life!
The Running Network, along with USA Track & Field are sponsors of the Outrun the Sun in May race, and encourage all to get a skin check up!
