Did you know.....

It is something that will seem pretty crazy when you think about it, but did you know that there are numerous states that DO NOT allow school kids to have sunscreen in school without having a prescription of Dr's note? How absolutely crazy is that?!
We need to do better.
I have ran into it before when I offered to have Truck Melanoma provide sunscreen samples for my kids on their school field day and was told that they were not allowed to bring sunscreen in to share.

Want to know if your state is one that allows sunscreen in schools? Check out this awesome article by SkinCancer.org:

There is also an area their that you can sign a petition if your state is one that does not allow sunscreen.

Protect the children's Trucking skin!
