She was our friend, our daughter, our sister, our granddaughter, our niece. Heidi was only 33 when she lost her courageous fight against skin cancer. We want her memory to help others survive.
We urge you to take precautions in the sun. This is especially important for children because sun exposure has long lasting effects. Also, stay out of tanning beds. Encourage your friends to get a skin cancer screening. Talk to your family doctor if you have a mole that worries you or meets any of the signs of skin cancer.
