Congratulations SHADE Marathon Team! All of our runners finished the marathon and did a great job raising awareness about SHADE Foundation and the prevention of skin cancer. Thanks to those who ran and to everyone who supported our runners by making a donation.

SHADE Foundation of America is dedicated to eradicating melanoma through the education of children and the community in the prevention and detection of skin cancer and the promotion of sun safety. One in Five children will grow up to develop skin cancer. With your help we can reduce these growing numbers and prevent skin cancer through education.

Swim for SHADE, Catalina Channel, California

admin — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:01:15 +0000

On August 26th, 2009 Kathie and Melissa are swimming across the Catalina Channel in California.

Through the years, 152 solo swimmers have crossed the Catalina Channel. This 21 mile swim in turbulent waters and unusual weather conditions … high, gale force winds; dense fog; great and swift seas; strong currents; pounding surf; treacherous rocks and reefs; and the presence of potentially dangerous marine creatures will be a challenge for Kathie and Melissa but one they are ready to tackle.

Kathie and Melissa are raising funds for SHADE Foundaiton of America to support our programs and to increase awareness of skin cancer and melanoma.

Please consider making a donation!
