I am honored to join a panel of ADVOCATES to present my personal story at the upcoming FDA General and Plastic Surgery Devices Advisory Panel Meeting tomorrow, March 25th, 2010 in Maryland.
Also presenting their stories will be other cancer survivors, and sadly, families of patients who died from Skin Cancer. American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA) President, William D. James, M.D., FAAD will lead the meeting of top physicians and researchers in Dermatology, who will share the undeniable facts about the cancer causing UV tanning devices.
Together, we will ask for a ban on tanning bed usage for under 18 years of age, to better protect our children. We will also be asking the FDA to appropriately reclassify tanning beds to better protect the American public.
Stay tuned!
