Proudly Supporting Melanoma New Zealand

Burnsco is proud to be partnered with Melanoma New Zealand to support their cause and help raise awareness about the importance of early detection and prevention of melanoma among our customers who spend so much time outdoors.

Did you know New Zealand’s melanoma incidence rate is the world’s highest?

More than 6,000 melanomas are diagnosed in New Zealand every year
Almost 300 Kiwis die of melanoma every year
Men are twice as likely than women to die from melanoma

The good news is that the majority of skin cancers are preventable. So, as we head into summer, make sure to protect your skin by slipping on some protective clothing, slopping on sunblock, slapping on a hat, seeking shade and sliding on some sunnies. Plus, don’t forget to check your skin regularly and seek advice if there are any changes.
