A
May
is
skin
cancer
awareness
month
and
it's
it's
important
for
us
as
a
city.
Not
everyone
understands
the
importance
of
protecting
their
skin
people.
Take
it
for
granted.
They
think
I'm
only
on
the
Sun
for
five
minutes
or
an
hour,
and
they
don't
realize
the
impact
of
Sun
and
what
it
does
you.
This
is
the
first
Sun
safety
station
in
2019
that
we're
launching
here
millennium
park
and
it
is
exciting
and
you're
right.
A
There's
thousands
of
young
people
in
this
park
every
single
weekend
and
at
night
after
after
school
and
soon
when
school
gets
out,
this
park
will
be,
will
be
having
kids
here
all
the
time.
It's
important
to
understand
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
and
take
a
role
in
protecting
how
young
people
are
not
people
of
our
city
really.
B
Our
goal
isn't
to
provide
all
of
the
sunscreen
for
everyone
in
the
universe,
but
it
is
to
be
a
beacon
that
says,
oh
to
put
my
sunscreen
on,
but
I'm
at
this
park
for
hours
and
I
need
to
reapply
or
I
just
forgot
sunscreen
today,
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
make
it
available
and
make
it
easy
to
find
and
hopefully,
you'll
see,
dispensers.
You'll
continue
to
see
sunscreen
dispensers
across
this
city
with
the.
C
Climate
crisis,
we're
in
the
exposure
to
UV
rays,
is
going
to
become
more
and
more
prevalent,
so,
as
kids
leave
their
homes
in
the
morning,
we
have
to
make
sunscreen
available
to
those
who
don't
have
it
in
their
homes.
We
have
to
make
it
available
at
schools.
We
have
to
make
it
available
to
parks
and
playgrounds.
It
is
a.
It
is
a
public
health
responsibility
of
government
to
protect
our
children
from
threats
from
melanoma
from
basal
cell
from
other
carcinomas.
