A Message for Others
Lauren’s experience also led her to reflect on the potential causes of her skin cancer. She believes her use of tanning beds in the past may have been a contributing factor. Now, she’s passionate about warning others of the dangers associated with them.
“My advice for teenagers and others considering tanning bed use is – don’t. There are many other options available, like spray tans, to help improve cosmetic appearance. The cost and the damage you do to your skin is way too high, and even though growing older seems a world away, once you are older, you will pay a price for tans and tanning beds.”
Lauren’s story is a powerful reminder of the unseen connections that bind us to our pets. It also serves as an important lesson about paying attention to potential health risks and the dangers of tanning beds. Share this story to honor Victoria’s life-saving actions and to spread awareness about skin cancer prevention.
