The new improvement to the foundation's website will help connect with patients who need support and resources to fight this disease.
"We are extremely proud to have our website both in English and in French," says David Barnard, the Executive Director of the Save Your Skin Foundation.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, approximately 760 Canadians living in Quebec were diagnosed with melanoma in 2011.
About Melanoma in Canada
Every year, thousands of Canadians are diagnosed with melanoma, with the incidence of the disease increasing faster than that of any other cancer. One in 74 men and 1 in 90 women are expected to develop melanoma during their lifetime; 1 in 284 men and 1 in 486 women will die of it.
