Take the first steps in beating Melanoma by joining Melanoma March in 2023.
 
We love sunny days on sandy beaches here at Manly, but a lack of protection from its harmful rays can lead to skin cancers such as melanoma ☀️
 
With one person being diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes and one passing away every 6 hours, Australia has the highest melanoma mortality rates worldwide. It is the most prevalent cancer among Australians aged 20 to 39.
 
Come on down to one of the many events this march and help support thousands of Australians. 🙌
 
The events can be found in the links bellow.
 
South Steyne Medical Centre also has a Skin Cancer Clinic. Please see the links below to learn more.
