Sun protection campaign

In 2017, I participated in the sun protection campaign “Disfruta del Sol sin dejarte la piel” led by Magdalena de Troya, head of the dermatology department at Hospital Costa del Sol.

I gave a speech about skin cancer and its prevention to the staff at the Montebello Clinic in Benalmadena. Afterwards, the dermatologist Alexandra Perea Polak and I came to the clinic once a week to check Danes for skin cancer.

I also participated in the TV programme “Llegó la hora” on TV-channel 101 together with the Danish consul, Marisa Moreno Castillo, and dermatologist Magdalena de Troya.

Here you can watch clips from the programme and the speech:

Help a Dane is an information campaign by the Danish cancer organization “Kræftens bekæmpelse”. It seeks to raise awareness of the risk of sunburn. They have made some quite funny campaign videos. You can watch the videos through the links below:
