Don't Fade Away
Over time, photos and memories fade, and sometimes even people fade away. Every 4 minutes one person dies of skin cancer. The fact that these deaths could have been prevented when detected early is the main motivation for Spot the Dot to create awareness campaigns.
Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early, however many people forget to check their skin on a regular base.
This campaign by Spot the Dot is all about making sure you don't forget about sun protection and skin checks. We don't want you to fade away.
Your personal skincheck calendar
Sometimes we forget to be as conscientious about sun protection and skin checks as we need to be. This is why we developed a tool for you to make sure you won't forget/let this important part of your health routine fade away.
Select dates for your monthly skin self-examination and yearly skincancer screening at the dermatologist. Export it directly to your calandar app on your smartphone or computer. Let's make sure you don't fade away.
