Kathy Barnard is welcoming news of the tanning ban. Barnard is a survivor of malignant Melanoma and founder of the Save your Skin Foundation.
“My message today for our youth is very simple: be proud of the skin you’re in. Own it, love it, protect it, say it. I know now that I would rather be alive with the skin I was given than die in the skin I so desperately wanted to have.”
Barnard says she was addicted to tanning as a teen, both in the sun and in tanning beds.
