Rosen Sunshine sponsors Melanoma Awareness Event
Rosen Sunshine LLP was a proud sponsor of the Into the Mystic melanoma awareness event run by the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund.
The David Cornfield Melanoma Fund was established in 2007 and is devoted to saving lives from melanoma by promoting awareness of this potentially deadly disease. We were thrilled to officially launch the Fund and its new logo at our Friends and Family Event on June 16th 2008.
Melanoma is a common and serious skin cancer which, if not treated early, is usually fatal. The good news is that the risk of melanoma can be significantly decreased by reducing exposure to UV radiation, and that the prognosis for melanoma patients can be improved by early detection. The bad news is that despite increasing public awareness of the dangers of UV radiation, many people still do not understand the seriousness of the damage caused by exposure to UV radiation, particularly damage caused during early years. Further, not enough people are aware of the early signs of melanoma, or the importance of self-detection. As a result, melanoma is often ignored until it’s too late. However, we believe that through David’s story, we can bring change.
