Don't Fry Day

Celebrate the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention's first annual “Don’t Fry Day," co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society, by practicing sun safety on May 22, 2009.

Statitistics show that more than 1 million skin cancers are diagnosed each year in the United States. Most are caused by too much exposure to UV rays (direct sun or tanning beds).

You can protect yourself by following some very easy guidelines:

Cover up.

Use sunscreen.

Wear a hat and sunglasses.

Avoid midday sun and tanning beds and sunlamps.
