Hi! We are Bella, Julia, Rubi, and Addison. We decided to focus on skin cancer because one group member was very interested in cancer, and the others really wanted to do a project that had to do with children. So skin cancer was the perfect match! Our goal is to reduce sunburns in children. Severe sunburns can lead to skin cancer and skin cancer can lead to death. About 2-3 million people die from skin cancer every year. Our goal is to speak to children in schools about why they need to wear sunscreen, inform them on how to avoid getting skin cancer. We also would like to create small packets with small bottles of sunscreen, and a manual of how to avoid getting skin cancer. We decided to begin visiting all of the group members previous elementary schools, before moving on to larger schools. I hope you enjoyed reading our blog. Keep checking in for updates on how the project is going!
