I was saddened once again to hear of another courageous melanoma warrior losing her battle to melanoma . Samantha Channels was a 37 year old mother of four from Hawaii who has fought melanoma 4 times since 2004 and passed away last night. She created Got Sun Block, a company dedicated to promoting skin cancer awareness and protection. She was very passionate about her mission to raise awareness--and that she did. I'm sure her dedication to that mission will long be remembered and honored as well as the kind of person she was. My heart and prayers go out to her family at this time.

This is so sad to hear! The Ocular Melanoma world just lost an amazing warrior last week. My heart breaks for these families.
Our baby was only 36 when Melanoma took her away from all of us who loved her so very much. Eight years she fought for life to be able to watch her children grow up, but in her fight she wanted to teach others about the effects of melanoma and of such a HORRIBLE cancer. Samantha will be missed each and everyday of my life, she made me so very proud to be her mom, and of everything she accomplished in her short life.
Thank you my beautiful angel, for making us so proud of all you did.
I love you.... Mom
