"What's a Sunburn?" UV Skinz!



Today I am honoring a company that I believe in: UV Skinz. I encourage you all to check out their site and order something during the month of May. When you order an item, you will receive a  swim shirt for a baby! You can choose to give it to your own child, donate it to your favorite chubby cheek niece or nephew, or find an organization that could use it. Let's protect the innocent from sunburns!   

My blog followers have been given a 15% discount.

UV Skinz is giving away free UV Protective Baby Swim Shirts to all customers who place an order this May in honor of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month. UV Skinz, your one-stop shop for UV Protective Sunwear, wants to ensure that even the youngest members of our families are given proper protection against skin cancer, which is dangerously on the rise in babies, children and teens. This is the fifth year in a row that UV Skinz has generously given away swimwear for their cause. Help them meet their goal of giving away 7,500 swim shirts for babies! Just visit www.uvskinz.com to learn more!
UV Skinz was started after Rhonda Sparks lost her 32-year-old husband to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.  It was this experience and being left to raise their three young boys on her own that gave her the determination to help bring products to the market that can help families live sun safe, while never forgetting how important it is to LIVE and HAVE FUN outdoors!

USA Soccer!

In honor of the USA ladies soccer team's victory today, I thought I would post the picture of my meeting with Christie Rampone. She was the guest of honor at the Sun Safety Expo at Grand Central Station in NYC back in the beginning of June. I actually met her directly following my neck biopsy...


I thanked her for using her name to help promote skin cancer awareness, and told her a quick "hey, I have stage III melanoma, your help is truly appreciated." She is a sweet lady, seemed a little caught off guard by me, but said she always wears sunscreen. She was going to let me wear her medals for the picture but since I just had the needle biopsy not even an hour before, I politely passed. I was already feeling sore! ;-)

Anyway--just a quick post to again thank Christie for being there, thank Melanoma Research Foundation for their continued effort in promoting skin cancer awareness & to say WOO HOO! USA! USA! USA!
