Dear 16-year-old me
Earlier this year, we got an email from the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund asking if we knew young people with melanoma for a video they were making (Mike was considered too old at 43.. haha!). David Cornfield was just 32 when he died of melanoma – his wife is featured in the video and has carried on his legacy. Yesterday the producers contacted us with their completed video “Dear 16-year-old me”..but I had already seen it because it has become so popular on YouTube so quickly. I am sharing it with everyone I know because it is so moving and they absolutely nail it….what I have been trying to communicate to people – that young people are not immune to cancer – especially melanoma – and that if you catch it early you could save your life. I hope you will watch it and share it with your friends and family.
Thank you for sharing this video. My prayer is that it will save that one teenage, that one person. I am a survivor. click here You can read my story and my continuing journey. Thank you for what your doing here.
