Mobile Eyes Index Card Script

My public health idea is skin cancer prevention.

Index Card #1: The sun shines down on every one of us.

Index Card #2: And this means no one is safe from skin cancer.

Index Card #3: Unless some prevention guidelines are followed.

Index Card #4: Apply sunscreen with SPF of 15 or 30 minutes before you go outside, and reapply after every two hours you are in the sunshine.

Index Card #5: Don't tan, don't burn. Period. Tanning booths are as deadly as lying in the sun with little coverage and no sunscreen.

Index Card #6: Seek shade when you can see the sun and cover up!

Index Card #7: Have fun, be safe and keep in touch- examine your skin for moles or sun spots every month, and see your doctor yearly for an expert skin exam.

Index Card #8: For more information go to www.skincancer.org.

My contact information is The Skin Cancer Foundation, specifically the "Guidelines" and "Skin Cancer Facts" section.
