Dear 16-Year-Old Me

Cancer is not an easy topic to talk about. Especially, if you want to talk to a 16-year-old teenager about it. While at NYU, I did my practicum (practical training, if you will) with Matthew Zachary and I’m too Young For This Cancer Foundation (I[2]Y). They are the only organisation out there that caters to young adults that suffer from cancer. Our main goal was to spread awareness to both young adults that had cancer and those that didn’t but could in the near future.

Our biggest challenge was to find a way in which we would communicate with them and not scare them. This video below does just that. It educates, informs and assures the viewers of the risk of Melanoma Cancer, one of the most common cancers in young adults and kids.

The video speaks directly to your heart. Watch and me amazed.
