2008 SHADE Boston Marathon Team

Run for SHADE... Outrun Skin Cancer!

Skin cancer accounts for more than half of all cancers in the United States and it is estimated that over one million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year. Today, 1 in 5 children will grow up to develop skin cancer, which is currently the number one cancer killer among women ages 25-29. However, skin cancer is 95% preventable and 95% treatable if caught early.

The SHADE Foundation of America’s mission is to “eradicate melanoma through educating children and the community in the prevention and detection of melanoma and the promotion of sun safety.” SHADE Foundation of America has funded over 100 SHADE cover grants to schools and community organizations, provided sun safety education to over 100,000 school children, and conducted over 5,000 free skin cancer screenings at health fairs and community events.

Please donate to the 2008 SHADE Boston Marathon Team and help us save lives!

In all honesty we are really misisng being with all of you again in Boston. The SHADE Foundation has touched so many people in such a positive way. Each one of the Foundation's employees and volunteers have created with you and Curt something that is truly special. Run, walk or crawl to the finish knowing that what you do makes it a reality that skin cancer could some day be eliminated. Somewhere a family has a brother, sister, father, mother, son or daughter fighting this disease and the support of SHADE has made that fight somehow easier. You should be proud of all you have accomplished since skin cancer became a reality in your life. Keep fighting and saving lives! Look on the bright side no Nor'easter this year...enjoy the run!"
