Concerned mum gets on her bike to raise awareness of relationship between exposure to UV and skin cancer

www.grub4life.com today reports that a concerned mum, Heidi Sedgeman, is riding her bike to raise awareness to fight childhood exposure to UV  - a leading cause of skin cancer - and to highlight the lack of shading available in many school playgrounds to protect children during outdoor learning and play.05-07-2010

She’s also raising money for her local school, St Mary's C of E Primary in Chessington, to give them sun protection in the form of high quality shade sails, to protect pupils when outside.

Heidi will be accompanied on her ride by friend Chris Taliadoros and they will be travelling a distance of almost 500 miles, between 9th and 16th July 2010.

Heidi said: "Following the loss of my first husband to skin cancer, my drive is to prevent as many young children as possible developing skin cancer in years to come."
