We learned a lot about UV Rays today from presenter Sharon McKenna. Ms. McKenna spoke about sun safety and the importance of us protecting ourselves from overexposure to the sun and the prevention of skin cancer. We were shown simple steps to protect ourselves from overexposure to the Sun. The presentation was very informative and engaging. We all were alarmed with the statistic. Did you know that Arizona ranks No.2 in the world in skin cancer incidence? Australia is No. 1.
