MEET OUR MELANOMA SUPER HEROES

In recognition of Melanoma Awareness Month in May, we launched our Melanoma Super Heroes campaign.

We want to honor the heroes that have stood out to you. This should include patients and survivors of this brutal disease, the loved ones we have lost to melanoma, friends and loved ones who have helped and supported our melanoma warriors through their journey. We want to recognise our dermatologists, skin cancer nurse specialists who do such an amazing job, the oncologists & surgeons who have saved so many lives. Everyone has a story to tell and Melanoma UK want you to share these stories and inspire others.

Read about the amazing super heroes below or why not get involved and recognise your Melanoma Super Hero to be displayed on our website.  Let's show how amazing our melanoma family is.
