Help Us Spread the Word About Sun Safety: "Don't Fry Day" is May 23

Hello from EPA!

Don't Fry Day is May 23We need your help (and 250 people total) to raise awareness about skin cancer prevention.

 

The quickest way to is to share the same message as others at the same time using a system called Thunderclap.

 

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S.: more than 3,500,000 new cases are diagnosed every year and one person dies from it every hour. But there are simple steps you can take to help protect yourself and your family. We  call it being SunWise, and it includes things like using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing.

 

Here’s another big thing you can do: share these steps with your friends using a system called Thunderclap, which is like a virtual flash mob.

 

It works like this: you let us send a specific, one-time message on your behalf to your social networks on Don’t Fry Day, May 23, at 12:00 pm EDT. If 250 or more people agree, the message will go out on everyone’s walls and feeds at the same time for people to read around the world. There are no further obligations or access to your social networks afterward, and you can cancel it if you like.

 

Sign up by going to http://thndr.it/1g3PfIa

 

After you sign up, please also share the Thunderclap with your friends so they know how they can help, too.  You can do that from the Thunderclap page.

 

Remember, we need to get at least 250 people to join our Thunderclap or it won’t go.

 

Thanks so much for helping us help people be SunWise!
