MELANOMA FACTS:

Did you know? Melanoma is a deadly skin cancer, and there are over 1 million Americans living with melanoma.
 
Florida has the second-highest incidence of melanoma in the United States. 

Sun protection and early detection are key to preventing melanoma.

What do YOU need to be on the look-out for? The ABCDE’s of melanoma are a good place to start!
 
  • Asymmetry - one half of the spot, will not match the other half
  • Border - the edges are irregular, ragged, notched, blurred, poorly defined; normal moles are round or oval
  • Color - the mole is not evenly colored: it may include shades of brown or black, or patches of pink, red, white or blue
  • Diameter - the spot is larger than 6mm across, or about the size of a pencil eraser
  • Evolving - the mole is changing in size, shape, or color
 

RACE DETAILS:

The SPF 5K: Shield, Prevent, Fight is a fun event organized for the community to promote education on melanoma, which can impact you and your loved ones.
