Dear 16-year old me
Wednesday January 18, 2012
Since May 2011, an online Canadian video designed to raise awareness of melanoma has had over 4.5 million views on You Tube.
Entitled "Dear 16-year-old Me", the poignant 5-minute video features a series of melanoma survivors -- as well as family members and friends of some people who didn't survive -- telling their experiences and what can be done to prevent melanoma and find it early.
The video was created by the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund, a group founded in memory of a young accountant who died from melanoma in 2005.
The video can be viewed on the Fund’s website at http://www.dcmf.ca
A similar message from the Melanoma Foundation of New Zealand, which was shown at the 2010 Grocery Charity Ball, can be viewed at http://www.melanoma.org.nz
