Who are Australian Skin Cancer Foundation?
Australian Skin Cancer Foundation started December 2021 with just a marquee, a few teardrop flags, 3 board members, a few volunteers at Bondi Beach, and a thousand ideas!
Their Mission is to provide support, education, fund research and drive advocacy for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
In 2023, they launched Australia’s first mobile National Skin Check Truck. This groundbreaking initiative provides FREE Skin Checks to communities who otherwise may not be able to access a similar service, while further educating them on skin cancer and how to take preventative measures.
What an amazing story!!
