“I benefit so much from their hopeful research, from their care and compassion.”

As a two-time melanoma survivor, Lexie Kite knows how life-changing cancer research and compassionate care can be. In her early 20s, she made choices about her skin based on beauty standards instead of research, avoiding sunscreen and spending time in tanning beds. Now, she is using her voice to help others make empowered decisions and better protect their health.

Thank you, Lexie, for sharing your story and helping others feel supported.
