      Fellow Melanoma Community Members:

      As you may have already heard from MRF, a small group of us from the Midwest region are heading to D.C. to lobby our representatives to enact stricter legislation regarding tanning bed usage. Two of us from Ohio will be speaking to our state's congressmen: Reps. Pat Tiberi, Steve Austria, and Sen. Sherrod Brown.

      I would love to share not only my voice but some of yours as well. If you would like to be part of this effort, please send me a brief summary of your case history (no more than half a page) and a personal message (one paragraph max) to our representatives in Washington that I can share to help persuade them to act on this most important of legislative actions.

      (my email address is in my profile – please send all testimonies to that!)

      Thanks!
