The Skin Check: Meet Leah Adams

Leah Adams is my first guest on the all-new, monthly segment of The Low Ultraviolet Tide – The Skin Check with Jenn Patrice!

Leah is the Program Manager for the National Kidney Foundation’s Northern Ohio office. In her role, she manages the planning and implementation of all NKF programs in the Northern Ohio territory to support patients, caregivers, raise awareness, and educate healthcare professionals. On a more personal note, Leah is an avid runner, a melanoma survivor, and loves to travel! Ever since she was touched by cancer, Leah changed her life around for the better. She became a skin cancer and mental health advocate and also is a daughter of a Stage IV metastatic melanoma patient. She wants to use hers and her dad’s story to inspire change, hope and action in regards to melanoma, sun safety and for people to protect their largest organ; their skin.

Leah was one of Low Ultraviolet‘s earliest ambassadors and has become a good friend of mine so I was excited to have her as my first guest. Fun fact: she was actually a guest on my podcast as well! We finally met in person at the Melanoma Research Alliance patient forum shortly after we recorded this episode!

Listen to Leah’s story to hear more about the warning signs of melanoma, skin checks, treatment, side effects, & more. Leah hopes to inspire change, hope and action in regards to melanoma, sun safety, and for people to protect their largest organ: their skin.
