On Saturday the 26th of November, 2022 at the pinnacle of #NationalSkinCancerActionWeek
@SkinCheckChampions and artist @SpencerTunick invited 2500 people to #StripOffForSkinCancer. Each participant paid homage to the lives lost from Skin Cancer last year in Australia.
We gathered in nothing but our skin, watching the first rays of light creep over the horizon of Bondi Beach, standing with respectful strength, honouring all those who’ve been killed or done battle with our ‘national cancer’, knowing that we will be the generation to stop it.
Sharing a pledge to #GetASkinCheck at least once a year, to be more #SunSmart and to rally together to fund a targeted National Skin Check Program. Providing free, educational skin check services to communities most at risk.
Let’s create a communal powerful cultural moment for everyone to focus on the heath of our skin, and what we can do to improve it.
Australia sadly has the #1 highest rate of skin cancer globally.. a scary statistic with too many lives and families affected.
All participants were wearing sun block and the works were taken early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day and the sun’s harmful rays. Thank you to all who took part and the volunteers!
