PROTECT YOUR SKIN. PROTECT YOURSELF. PROTECT YOUR LIFE.
Never has there been such promise for people living with melanoma. We have more treatments and clinical trials available than ever before, and new therapies are constantly on the horizon. While some skin cancers may be aggressive, Outrun the Sun is committed to being even more aggressive in our quest to finding a cure. If you have a special interest in eradicating this disease, please join us. We welcome you.
Preparing Tomorrow's Physicians
Skin cancer is more easily treated at its onset. To improve rates of early detection, our team developed a free Skin Cancer Curriculum for Medical Schools. ALL students, not only those studying dermatology, learn to detect skin cancer and how to conduct a full-body skin exam.
Fueling Melanoma Research
The Outrun the Sun Melanoma Research Scholar Program supports young investigators who represent some of the nation's top medical institutions. We are honored to support these scholars who help pioneer life-saving discoveries that benefit patients around the world.
Sun Safety Curricula
Giving people and organizations the tools they need to teach sun safety is vital to giving our kids a lifetime of good skin health. We applaud our partners across America whether they are Girl Scout troop leaders, homeschool parents, camp counselors, or teachers. YOU make the difference!
