Bio

Spent many a December holiday on the beach as a child. Suffered many sunburns. Spent many hours outside under the harsh African sun riding my horse.

However, doctors tell me that I have a genetic pre-disposition to melanoma (given that I have had multiple primaries in such a short space of time)
