WITH THE SUN, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

A recent study by Cancer Research UK warns that the UK is facing a "crisis" of cancer.

Although age is known as the biggest risk factor, certain lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, diet, tanning and sunburn and lack of exercise contribute to increase this statistic.

Prevention is better than cure and is best done as soon as possible, hence the importance of sun protection for children.

Security Code Sun outdoor children was developed by the Research Fund Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma, a very interesting and free initiative to protect children from sun exposure.

We must educate adults how damaging it can become the sun and children inculcate habits as SF + 15 at certain times of day.

Youth Sport Trust Association has produced a short film to raise the alarm of sunburn, with the goal of educating both adults and children and make their own decisions knowing the damage that the sun can cause.
