Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Katrina and the Waves released their hit Walking on Sunshine in 1985. It was meant to be an optimistic song, which took on a new meaning in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. 

If you are walking in the sunshine, are you protecting your skin? Two people die of skin cancer every hour in the United States.
