(Salisbury, MD) -  Recent Wicomico High School graduate and avid softball player, Dana Lowe, was diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma at the age of fifteen. Now, she is spreading the message! In conjunction with PAC 14 and the Wicomico County Health Department, Dana created a Public Service Announcement targeting young athletes who spend a significant amount of time outdoors in the sun.   Dana reminds athletes that skin cancer can happen to anyone regardless of their age, and that clothing such as uniforms will not totally protect you. The PSA encourages young athletes to protect their skin by wearing an SPF of 15 or higher every day.
