Melanoma 28
A collection of 28 patient stories.
Real stories of strength, survival, and the fight against melanoma.
Real voices. Real journeys. One powerful mission.
This moving book brings together 28 deeply personal stories from people whose lives have been forever changed by melanoma. From initial diagnosis to treatment, hope, heartbreak and resilience, Melanoma 28 captures the raw reality of a disease that affects thousands of Australians every year.
Each story is united by one common thread, a connection to Jay Allen OAM, stage 3 melanoma survivor and founder of the Australian Skin Cancer Foundation.
Jay has walked beside each of these individuals and their families throughout their journeys, offering support, strength, and community.
Jay’s own story closes the collection, a reminder of the life-saving power of early detection and the importance of never giving up.
This book is more than just a read, it's a rallying cry for awareness, action, and compassion.
Proceeds from the book go directly towards funding free skin checks, education, research and advocacy.
