Sawyer Alumnus Raises Awareness of Skin Cancer
Sawyer School of Business alumnus Sean Patrick Harrington will travel to Africa July 16 and climb 19,340 feet up Mt. Kilimanjaro as part of the inaugural Skin Cancer, Take a Hike campaign. Dr. Ellen Marmur, a New York City dermatologist, created the event, with a goal to raise $1 million dollars by the end of 2014 to fund Spot Skin Cancer.
This nationwide campaign through the American Academy of Dermatology is an initiative designed to lower the quickly rising rate of skin cancer, or melanoma, in the U.S.
