"Safe from the Sun Walk"

Location: Seattle, WA

DIADORA America is the presenting sponsor of the 2007 "Safe From the Sun Walk". The event - which takes place at Magnuson Park, Seattle, WA on Sunday, May 6th at 12pm - is hosted by the Melanoma International Foundation (MIF) and includes a 5k run or walk, a Health and Wellness Expo, and various kids’ activities. Melanoma is a serious and sometimes life-threatening type of skin cancer that can affect men and women at almost any age. The mission of MIF is to relieve some of the emotional stress and pain that comes with Melanoma, as well as educating the world on how to detect it and prevent it.

"DIADORA is proud to be a part of such a worthy and necessary cause. We believe that the "Safe from the Sun Walk" is a great way to promote Melanoma awareness in a fun and entertaining environment," says William Nuttall, president of DIADORA America.
