MELANOMA - What You Need to Know
Melanoma takes the life of one person every hour.
It is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women, age 20 to 29.
Melanoma, when caught early, is 90% curable.
This year, the American Cancer Society estimates there will be 53,600 new cases of melanoma in the United States and 7,400 deaths from the disease.
The incidence rate for melanoma has more than doubled since 1973.
Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths because it may spread through the lymph nodes or blood systems.
Habitat for Humanity is in need of volunteers.
No experience necessary!!!
I can't tell you how rewarding this is. You must try it yourself.
All equipment, instructions, and on site meals are provided.
