It’s also the anniversary of the launch of the Neil Evans Melanoma Foundation (NEMF) and Salute the Sun.
“This unique celebration is Neil’s vital legacy,” said NEMF Founder and Neil’s partner, Sonia Nazaretian, “born out of a collective desire to embrace the beauty of life and the healing power of sunlight, while raising awareness of the life-threatening dangers of exposure to the sun.”
In Australia, a staggering 95% of melanomas are caused by sun damage. Exposure to UV light is – literally – life-threatening. Yet so many of us take it for granted.
In 2025, the first Sunday in December will coincide with Neil’s birthday, 7 December, for the first time since his passing at just 48 after a heroic three-and-a-half-year battle with melanoma in 2021.
Details to come.
