Special thanks and recognition:

SKCIN would like to pay special thanks to the David Price Melanoma Trust for funding the build of this website and their continued support of our diverse work. The David Price Melanoma Trust has supported SKCIN for over a decade, funding a number of projects and initiatives that have made our mission possible and our vision a reality. We are forever grateful for the guidance and support of their Trustees and the opportunity through our years of collaboration to create a long-standing legacy in memory of David Price.

About the David Price Melanoma Trust:

Since its inception in 1988, the David Price Melanoma Trust has a history of giving in the field of Melanoma, supporting research at St Thomas’s and Westminster Hospitals, specialist health technology at Mount Vernon Hospital and sun safe awareness education initiatives in partnership with SKCIN and, previously, with Teenage Cancer Trust.

David was 34 when he died on 29th October 1988. David’s wife Alison Price said:

“David was a much loved husband and adoring father of 2 very young children. Our daughter was 4 and our son had just had his first birthday when he died. My family and I have tried to fill in the gaps but nothing will make up for what he and they have missed over the years including his incredible grandchildren.

The melanoma diagnosis came after a visit to the GP when a mole on his back started bleeding and he was sent urgently to have it investigated. David faced all of his treatment and operations with dignity and hope.

David did not fall into the category of a stereotypical melanoma statistic. He wasn’t a sun worshipper, he wasn’t a fair, blue eyed person. In fact we believe the damage was done on a cloudy day.

David would be so proud to see what has been achieved in his name and the ongoing exposure that is now in the public domain hoping to bring awareness to this awful disease which is still on the increase”.
