Skin cancer

My father was a PE teacher in Riverside for more than 30 years. With all of his time in the outdoors on the job he has been fighting skin cancer for as long as I can remember. It is common practice for him to get some form of surgery on some part of his body. He is now vigilant about wearing sun screen and expects the same from me as one of the things I got from him is his fair skin. The damage has been done on my dads part, but I do hope that I have not given myself this same sentence in my own life. In this picture you can see the simularities between me and my dad where our skin is concerned. Very red and very damaged! I hope that if you read this it changes how you take care of your skin!
