Half marathon, 5k and Family Fun Run Nov 14th Did you know… Skin Cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. today? One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime? One person dies every hour from Melanoma in the U.S. alone? There are more... new cases of skin cancer diagnosed each year than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers combined? Dermatologists believe this is due to the fact that patients do not heed/and or know the early warning signs. With early detection and proper treatment, the cure rate for Melanoma is about 95%. According to the American Cancer Society, “Many of the more than 1 million skin cancers diagnosed each year could be prevented with protection from the sun’s rays.” Because of this growing epidemic, we feel an urgency to share this message now! Therefore, we would like to invite you to join us in our fight against skin cancer by participating in our first annual Run From the Sun Half Marathon, 5K, and Family Fun Run on Saturday, November 14, 2009. read more
