National Skin Cancer Action Week
Sun, 21.11.2021 - Sat, 27.11.2021
National Skin Cancer Action Week highlights that we need to do more to promote sun protection.
2021 marks the fortieth anniversary of the iconic Slip, Slop, Slap campaign with Sid the Seagull, and yet Australia still has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, including melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Currently two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70 every year, and around 2000 Australians die from this disease.
In our sport we are at a high risk of our skin becoming sun damaged. The 5 forms of sun protection have been ingrained into the rowing community over the years - but there is still more educating to be done to save future generations of rowers.
With National Skin Cancer Action Week commencing this Sunday, now is the perfect time to remind members & fellow crew mates of the importance of #slipslopslapseekslide
