OUR AMBASSADORS
Michael Clarke AO
Cricket Legend
Michael knows all too well the dangers of skin cancer with a number of cancers removed in recent years. Most recently he had 27 stitches across his chest after being diagnosed with a dangerous Basal Cell Carcinoma. Having been exposed to the sun during his whole career, Michael will help the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation spread all-important sun safe messages, which include wearing a broad brimmed hat when out in the sun; applying and reapplying SPF 50 sunscreen on areas that are going to be exposed; wearing sunglasses; seeking regular shade; and wearing protective clothing.
Michael Clarke says:
“I am excited to partner with the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation to not only spread the word on skin safety, but to help share the importance of sun protection, getting checked and remembering prevention is better than cure. I know first-hand how important these factors are and am passionate about raising awareness on this vital subject. Everyone needs to be aware of the danger of the sun all around the world, but particularly in this country. This is not just about being safe, this is about saving lives.”

“It’s just not worth it, melanoma only needs to get to 1mm deep before tiny cells can spread through your body. Get A Skin Check at least once a year, it could save your life and follow the five sun-safe rules when out in the harsh sun.
I’m invested in this caring charity, it’s doing great things and this is why I am on board. More people need to know about melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers and how they develop, so they hopefully won’t get diagnosed.’
I’m excited to be an ambassador for the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation. I believe in their mission and want to help as much as I can, so lives can be saved”
Deb Knight
TV presenter + radio host
Australian Skin Cancer Foundation is proud to announce that skin cancer survivor and Channel Nine, 2GB radio host Deborah Knight has joined them as a National Ambassador.
Personally, Deb knows all too well the dangers of skin cancer.
"If there are changes taking place and a mole or a spot looking different in recent months or years - go and get those regular checks," she said.
"As a teenager I didn't want to sit under a hat or umbrella with wrap around sunnies, getting a tan was cool and glamorous, but if you come out of a dermatologist's office looking like I do, if it develops into melanoma or skin cancer and it scars, it could be tragic for families."
"If I can encourage one person to get their skin checked, that is a really good thing," she said.
I’m honoured to be an ambassador for Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and believe in there mission.
