Hi, I’m Lilly, a senior in high school. I play soccer and run track during the school year and vacation in Nantucket during the summers. That adds up to a lot of sun time! My mom used to always remind me to wear sunscreen when I would forget it or chose not to use it in order to get a nice tan. Now, I find myself constantly reminding my friends of the how dangerous the sun really is and urge them to use sunscreen at all times. I first got involved with IMPACT Melanoma when a teacher at my school suggested that a friend and I attend a “Your Skin is In” Focus Group. Ever since, I have been promoting melanoma awareness every chance I get. My friend and I brought the issue to our school through the Student Wellness Committee at my school. It was an awesome experience to be part of the e-learning lesson to inform teens and young adults on skin safety in a different way!”
