President of Melanoma Education Foundation
Addresses Morning Star Rotarians
The guest speaker at our January 26th club meeting was Steve Fine, the Founder and President of the Melanoma Education Foundation.
The organization's focus is on early self-detection and prevention of melanoma. They target high school and middle school teachers and students.
Their free lessons and videos have been used in over 1,700 schools across the United States.
Welcome to the Melanoma Education Foundation Websites
We have two websites. This website (skincheck.org) is for the general public and has comprehensive, user-friendly information about:
- Early self-detection and prevention of melanoma.
- Who we are and what we do.
- Contributing and getting involved.
MEF's other website (melanomaeducation.net) is for health educators and has free online melanoma lessons for middle and high school students. Access is free.
We tend to think of cancer as something which happens to older people, usually 40's or older. Melanoma strikes as young as 10, can be fatal if not found early and can occur anywhere on the body.
Please go to the websites and learn how to protect yourselves, your loved ones, friends, etc. These statistics are very shocking!!
ESPECIALLY THE UNDER 40 SEGMENT - the education is free to help one another. Reach out......you can make a difference!
Steve Fine, Founder & President of MEF lost his son Daniel to melanoma in 1998 at age 26.
