Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer that claims the life of one American every hour. However, when caught early and treated properly, it is almost always curable.
To help raise awareness of melanoma and encourage people to get screened, the Baltimore Ravens have teamed up with Melanoma Exposed to host free skin cancer screenings before the upcoming Ravens vs. Cleveland game. Melanoma Exposed is a new educational campaign supported by leading melanoma advocacy groups and sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb that aims to raise awareness of melanoma and encourage people to get screened.
Baltimore Ravens Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron was diagnosed with the disease when he was a young coach but luckily, he was screened and caught it early. Men are nearly twice as likely to die from melanoma as women. So get screened, protect your family, know your risks and tell everyone how to protect against melanoma.
