Dear Friends and Family,

Recently Georgie was taken from us due to melanoma. Georgie was healthy and full of life and this happened so quickly and unexpectedly. Georgie is my mums sister, and we are all meeting in Berlin on the 25th of September with Georgies kids Will and Edwina and husband Geoff in honour to Georgies great spirit to life and to raise funds for research and awareness programs for melanoma. 3 of us are running the Marathon and the rest are in support.

It is so important to take the time out to get regular skin checks no matter how busy you are. Please schedule a skin check with your GP or local clinic. And please donate to this important cause. Thank you

I decided to make my Berlin Marathon more meaningful and support Jack H. Marston II Melanoma Fund. Their campaign to fund research and provide awareness programs (early detection saves lives) makes a real difference --- and you can be a part in it.

If you or someone you know has had spots removed, precancerous cells, or have melanoma, you already know. If you have been fortunate so far, let me explain why Jack’s Fund needs your donation.

  • Melanoma is a very serious form of skin cancer. Although accounting for only 4% of total skin cancer cases, it is the leading cause of skin cancer related deaths.
  • Melanoma is the second most common cancer for young adults ages 15-29.
  • The risk of being diagnosed with melanoma doubles with five or more sunburns at any age, and exposure to tanning beds in youth increases that risk by 75%!
  • The risk of developing melanoma is increasing, and most frighteningly, the cases of melanoma amongst young children are on the rise.

Since the risk of melanoma affects or has affected each and every one of us, the work that Jack’s Fund is doing to increase research funding and to develop awareness programs is so important!
