May
"Melanoma Monday" is a special day when people learn about melanoma, a type of skin cancer. It happens on the first Monday in May. On this day, doctors and health groups teach everyone how to protect their skin from too much sun, which can cause melanoma. They show how to check your skin for new or changing spots, which might be a sign of a problem. This helps people stay healthy by keeping their skin safe while playing outside or being in the sun. It's all about being smart in the sun and taking care of our skin.
How to celebrate Melanoma Monday?
Start your day by wearing sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun. Ask your family to help you do a skin check, looking for any spots that look unusual. Draw pictures of the sun with friends, using lots of bright colors. Make a fun game, seeing who can spot more hats and sunglasses when you're outside. Share a story during dinner about the importance of caring for your skin. You can even bake sun-shaped cookies with your family. End the day by writing in your journal about what you did to keep your skin safe.
