"I'm lucky, I caught it early. You always think that you look healthy with a tan, but if it means getting a melanoma, it's just not worth it."
Adine Wilson, NZ Netballer 

“With melanoma, the difference between life and death is measured in millimetres.”
James

“Like a lot of people, I was aware of melanoma. I even knew someone who had died of it. But you never think it is going to happen to you."
Ellen
