I was very touched by the following article. Please read this story about Glenna Kohl who grew up doing everything right. A vegetarian, she did yoga, hiked, jogged and rowed regularly. Unfortunately she did indulge in one unhealthy practice: tanning. Like millions of young women she believed that a bronzed look made her more beautiful. As health-conscious as Glenna was, she never thought that this trendy habit was as deadly as it was. Follow the article to the end to learn what a melanoma looks like and which moles are normal and which might be dangerous. Early detection and prevention are key to this deadly disease. Please take care!
