2016 Tax Deductible Donation

As we close on the 2016 year, the fight against skin cancer continues. We need your help to fight this disease, which is the most common type of cancer in Canada.

• One in every three cancers diagnosed worldwide is a skin cancer, 80-90% of which are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
• Over 80,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in Canada each year, more than 5,000 of which are melanoma, the mostly deadly form of skin cancer.
• Canadians born in the 1990s have two to three times higher lifetime risk of getting skin cancer (1 in 6) than those born in the 1960s (1 in 20).
• There are more new cases of skin cancer each year than the number of breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers COMBINED!
• Skin cancer is caused by overexposure of the skin to UV radiation. The most common sources of UV radiation on the skin are the sun and artificial tanning beds. Though skin cancer is preventable and most often treatable, it remains the most common form of cancer.
