Bio	Hello everyone! My name is Kellie and I am a melanoma survivor and an occasional melanoma patient. I attend the great University of Wisconsin-Madison and am majoring in child development and psychology. I am an active member of my college’s chapter of Colleges Against Cancer and participate in Relay for Life twice a year. I’ve never been tanning in my life but my father has had 7 (yes, 7) stage 1 melanomas and continues to be my personal hero.
