Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Simon warns of sunbathing peril by Duncan Smith


DON’T have a holiday to die for! That is the message from


Clitheroe publican and skin can­ cer survivor Simon Hope, who is helping the Cancer Research UK team to promote the chari­ ty’s national “SunSmart” cam­ paign. It focuses on those most at risk of skin cancer and the charity has its sights fixed on holidaymakers this year. Simon, who runs The Rose


and Crown, in Castle Street, found a raised mole on his chest in April 2005. When part of the lump fell off, regrew and then started to bleed, Simon’s wife, Lyndsey, insisted he saw the doctor. Simon underwent a minor operation at his local health centre to remove the lump, but there was bad news when tests revealed that the tis­ sue was malignant and Simon, had skin cancer. The 40-year-old then under­


went surgery at the Royal Pre­ ston Hospital to remove a deep­ er area of tissue the size of a ten­ nis ball to ensure the cancer had not spread any further into his body. Fortunately, a subsequent scan showed Simon was fully clear of the disease. He still


needs regular check-ups, but these are soon likely to become twice a year instead of every three months. Simon believes he developed


skin cancer after burning badly as a child and suffering a partic­ ularly bad outbreak of sunburn on holiday in Spain in 1985. To illustrate the dangers of


burning, Simon, his wife Lynd­ sey and a team from Cancer Research UK posed alongside a mock beach scene at the chari­ ty ’s shop in Castle Street, Clitheroe, just up the road from Simon’s pub.. Jane Bullock, of Cancer


Research UK, said: “This stunt is a light-hearted way to get across a very serious message - to make sure you never burn. Getting sunburnt can double your risk of skin cancer and yet many people still believe that going red is all part of getting a tan. “Talking to people in


Clitheroe it’s clear that we still have a long way to go when it comes to educating people about how to enjoy the sun safely and reduce their risk of skin cancer.” Simon, who has become a reg­


ular fund-raiser for Cancer Research UK after his cancer experience, said: “Finding out I


had skin cancer was a big shock, but I ’m glad to be alive and to have a chance to warn others about the dangers of sun­ bathing. Posing with a deck chair and a bucket and spade is good fun, but there’s a serious message behind it all. “I would urge anyone who is


worried about a mole to see a doctor immediately. I wouldn’t have gone to the doctor without my wife insisting on it.” A recent survey commissioned


by Cancer Research UK showed that in the North West, 43% of people thought they would get sunburnt on their summer holi­ day and 30% thought getting burnt was all part of getting a tan. Jane Bullock added: “Get­ ting sunburnt increases the risk of skin cancer in general, but the kind of sunbathing that hap­ pens when people go to much sunnier climates and bake on the beach is particularly danger­ ous. “This kind of intense expo­


sure to the sun, often leading to reddening or burning, particu­ larly increases the risk of malig­ nant melanoma, and each year in Britain almost 2,000 people die from this form of skin cancer. Of course it’s not just a problem for those who go abroad. People,


especially those with fair skin, lots of moles or freckles or a family history of skin cancer, can be at risk of burning on summer days in the UK.” Cancer Research UK’s Sun-


Smart campaign urges anyone with a new unusual skin blemish or a mole that starts to change to get it checked out by their doctor, especially if they have had sunburn in the past. To reduce the risk of skin can­


cer and enjoy being out in the sun, the campaign encourages people to know their skin type and use the UV index to find out when they need to protect them­ selves. They should also follow the SunSmart key messages: 0 S pend time in the shade

sional and the ladies in the kitchen were extremely busy as the car boot sale on the car park and field was well-supported. Show secretary thanked
