\"Katie

Katie with her family in 2019, after she was declared five years cancer free.<\/p><\/div>\n

When skin cancer is detected early, it reduces a person\u2019s risk of facing a long, hard battle, like mine. Early detection can be the difference between life and death. That is why I am passionate about saving Destination Healthy Skin.<\/p>\n

Katie survived stage IV melanoma that spread to her brain, lung, kidneys, uterus and spine. Her journey compelled her to educate others and volunteer for Destination Healthy Skin.\u00a0Read more<\/a>\u00a0about her eight-year grueling\u00a0battle with melanoma.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row el_class=”content-block”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
