Former New York Giants Quarterback Phil Simms has stated that he had skin cancer, and is now using his “Spot Me” campaign to help raise skin health awareness for men of all ages.
Simms has organized for mass skin cancer screenings to take place at three NFL events so that men have easy access to knowledge and skin checks. Those events include:
“I think it’s fantastic that he is offering this service to men who normally wouldn’t participate in this sort of screening,” shares Dr. Mamelak. The recent rise of celebrities and athletes supporting the awareness of skin diseases and skin cancer is very beneficial to the public, as they are using their fame for a greater purpose. “Simms is helping save the lives of many men, and I hope many more follow in his footsteps,” Dr. Mamelak says.
