Today is Melanoma Monday, a day wherein you are taught about skin care cancer prevention as well as early detection. This day was established by American Academy of Dermatology. One of the common diseases in U.S. is skin cancer. Nearly one million people are diagnosed with this disease every year. One person dies every hour of melanoma in U.S. Always wear a sunscreen lotion if you are out in sun. There is a new way of reminding you to reapply sunscreen and let you know if you’re getting too much sun exposure. It’s called the UV Sun Sense wristband.

Nearly 600 troops will be flying to Taliban. They will be there for 7 months. In order to support them nearly 5000 charity wristbands  in purple, green and blue colors for new 3rd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland have been created. These wristbands bear the slogan “supporting The Black Watch, 3 Scots, in Afghanistan 2009″. The wristbands cost £2 and the money raised will go to Army Benevolent fund and Erskine Hospital. Those who wear this wristband will help boost morale. The Black Watch is the pride of Scotland and its important Scotland gets behind them for this latest mission.
