Sun Protection Hats – Really Cool ...and they protect your skin from UV damage.

I was diagnosed with skin cancer at the age of 47.

It was squamous cell carcinoma and quickly developed to a stage three. I survived the cancer, but it was, for sure, a tough battle.

20 years have passed and I’m still cancer free.

Sharing skin cancer prevention with others has become an important part of my life. That's why I want you to know this.

Wearing sun protection hats is one simple thing I started including in my outside activities

It’s just hard to avoid it sometimes.

(By the way, that’s not me in the picture.)


And if I go with my grandsons, to the lake or a park, sun hats are a good thing to have with us.

Now I’m going to have to pick up some really “cool” ones for my grandsons.

We all need protection from the excessive sun rays.

Why do we need sun protection?

Sunburn can permanently damage the skin, bring about precancerous changes in the skin and cause premature wrinkling and aging.

Wearing sun hats with a wide brim can protect your face and neck area from too much exposure.





There are other types of protective clothing you can wear, as well as using sunscreen.

Learn how to do self exams. and get regular check ups with your doctor.

Always see your doctor when you see something suspicious on your skin.
