According to Rachel, “Skin cancer awareness is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, as I have witnessed close friends and family members struggle with skin cancer. Spreading awareness and providing education is an easy and worthwhile way to help prevent any form of cancer. I learned that a single pamphlet or a quick information seminar can truly go a long way and could even be the first step in early detection. “
Rachel Jordan will appear at the upcoming Celebrity Golf Invitational benefitting the Enright Melanoma Foundation and the Summit Medical Group Foundation on September 30, 2013 at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone.
