Stay safe and don’t fry

ALPENA, Mich. — Grilling is always a favorite thing to do Memorial Day weekend but The Skin Cancer Foundation wants everyone to stay safe and “Don’t Fry.”

They recommend wearing sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV Rays.  The foundation said just five sunburns doubles the risk of Melanoma.  This type of cancer is known as the most dangerous of skin cancers.  They also recommend covering up with clothing, wide–brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
