Shout out to our Canadian Viking @chrisisfeld for going out in -11C (plus wind!) to train for his 30km race across frozen Lake Manitoba this March. He’s a Stage III melanoma patient currently in treatment who’s racing in sub zero temps to raise money for other melanoma patients like him! Click the link in our bio to read more.

Self-compassion is not always easy. It requires that you recognize or acknowledge that you are suffering, that you feel sympathy or empathy for yourself, and that you support yourself to alleviate the suffering. For more information and videos on how to develop self-compassion, visit the link in our bio.

Keeping infants and young children out of the sun as much as possible is very important. Before the age of three, sunscreen does not provide adequate protection for developing skin and the best protection is to keep sun exposure to a minimum. Even a suntan is harmful to children, as tanning is an outward sign of internal skin damage.

With a new decade starting, there's not better time to prioritize your health by making a resolution to check your skin every month for skin cancer. Monthly skin checks are the best way to detect skin cancer before it spreads. And the easiest way to stick to your resolution is to schedule it! Simply set a monthly notification on your phone to make sure you don't forget. For more info on how to do a skin self-examination, visit the link in our bio.

On the first Thursday of every month, Save Your Skin Foundation hosts patient support chats for patients, survivors and caregivers. The chats are open discussions about life after a melanoma diagnosis and an opportunity to meet other patients and survivors from across Canada.⁣
To reflect the supportive and informal nature of these chats, we've decided to give them a new look and name! Tell us what you think of it in the comments below.⁣
The next chat will take place on Thursday, January 2nd at 5pm PST/8pm EST. You can join for free on your phone by calling in, or online on your computer, tablet or smartphone anywhere you have wifi. For more info, visit the link in our bio.
