      Hello all,

      Just a bit about my history.  Was diagnoses with a 1.5 mm Mel, back in Nov 2012, 1 microscopic node in sentinel, then 42 lymph nodes removes from under left arm, still numb under there but doing very well overall and currently NED!  I follow this site and kudos to everyone fighting this disease with all they have, and to everyone on this site that helps everyone out, it is truly a great resource and helped me soooo much when I was diagnosed!

      Hello all,

      Just a bit about my history.  Was diagnoses with a 1.5 mm Mel, back in Nov 2012, 1 microscopic node in sentinel, then 42 lymph nodes removes from under left arm, still numb under there but doing very well overall and currently NED!  I follow this site and kudos to everyone fighting this disease with all they have, and to everyone on this site that helps everyone out, it is truly a great resource and helped me soooo much when I was diagnosed!

      Onto my post question.  I have a team for Relay for Life event in Grand Forks, ND on June 1, and have a few questions on Mel outreach.  i want to have a posterboard on Melanoma facts,. and was wondering if anyone knows how best to go about doing this.  I can create it, but didn't know if there were other resources I didn't know about.  I also want to get some sunscreen samples to giveaway at the event, and was wondering if anyone has done this and what company to contact perhaps? 

      Thanks for any help, and have a great weekend everybody!

          Hi there. I think that AIM at Melanoma is a good place to get Melanoma facts. If you are looking for something already created, I'm not sure about that. But, if you e-mail them, they might be able to send you some stuff.

          You might try contacting Melanoma Girl. She used to have sunscreen packets she gave out that had her logo on them.
