Thank you for sharing this!  I shared it on my facebook page.  Good video.  One we all need to see/hear!

My good friend died March 10, of this year due to a mole on her foot that turned out to be melanoma.  Very sad.

Yes, this is very important for kidney people as skin cancers may have their beginings long before they "flare up". 
I had a friend with a kidney tranplant who died of skin cancer on the eyelid.  It was a terrible, slow death. 
I keep a very watchful eye on Gregory's various skin abnormalities (moles etc).  He has had a patch cut off the side of his head above one ear, and I think the other side will go that way too at some point.  He visits a skin specialist every 6 months.

Be sun smart!
