| The Sun Protective Clothing was formed in 1996 by Dawn and Ron Griffiths. The realization of the changes of ultraviolet radiation from the sun really came to light when Ron was diagnosed with malignant melanoma skin cancer. As everyone is aware prolonged exposure to the sun can have serious consequences. Unfortunately most people don't pay attention until they themselves or someone they know is diagnosed with skin cancer. After seeing specialists, Dermatologists and reading everything we could on skin cancer one realizes just how dangerous sun exposure can be. We did not realize that many typical cotton T-shirts and summerweight fabrics can allow 50% of harmful UV rays through to your skin when dry and 10%-20% more when wet. One in seven of our own children now face a risk of getting skin cancer during their lifetime. Finding out that the instances of skin cancer is fast becoming the number one of leader over all other cancer occurrences is a very sobering thought. |
