"I would tell my 16 year old self that getting a tan from the sun is so not worth it. A spray tan or self tanner is a way better option than burning your skin and the risk of getting skin cancer."

"In Feb 2021 I decided I should get it (the spot) checked and I wish I’d gone sooner so it could have been picked up quicker meaning I wouldn’t have had to have as big of surgery to have it removed."

“In July 2020, I noticed a tiny lump on my ear lobe. In Jan 2021, a friend noticed the lump and suggested I see a specialist. I saw a skin cancer specialist, who removed it and sent it off for a biopsy. 5 days later, the doctor called and said, "you have a level 4 melanoma".”

As a teenager growing up in England my favourite summer pastime was sunbathing with friends. I have been extremely lucky to have not developed skin cancers (to date) and I am willing to start to take better care.

Your Story Series: Meet Jen

It's all about awareness really, and people are aware, they just need to take it seriously and notice it more. Knowing the consequences and being mindful of how easy it is to avoid, life in general, being out and about, is much easier, happier and less painful.

In my early 20s I developed a butterfly rash on my face that wouldn't go away. I was quickly diagnosed with discoid lupus and my specialist stressed that it was very important for me to stay protected from the sun. This was in the early 80s and I was living in Queensland, so it was a tough call.

My mum, dad and mother and father in law have ALL had sun cancers or sun spots removed. I see so many people of their generation having similar treatments.

Your Story Series: Meet Matt

Having grown up in a very active family, from a very early age I was participating in team sports whether it be football, tee-ball or cricket. My parents taught me the importance of using sun cream and zinc to protect my face, but also the benefit of wearing a long sleeve shirt to cover my arms, and a bucket hat or broad brim hat to keep the sun off my neck and ears.
