I am baffled by the number of people - particularly younger men and construction workers - who fail to protect themselves against the sun by either wearing clothing or using a sunblock. I bet there are a fair number who use this board.

A high profile case such as this will probably encourage at least a few to take more care. Doesn't help when you're made to feel as though you're ill / inferior / unfashionable for being too pale.
