Wes Bonny Testimonial: Family and friends

When Wes was 23 years old he was diagnosed with a melanoma on his neck. The melanoma was removed but it was already in his bloodstream and later spread to his brain.

You can reduce your risk by protecting your skin when you're outdoors. Like most people, you probably know how to protect yourself from the sun. Wes Bonny's experience challenges us all to be more vigilant about our sun protection behaviour.

I worked with Wes for 3 years before he died, he was a great bloke and good mate.

I think this add is great, very punchy and really respects his memory.

I am sorry for your loss. In 2006 I lost a great mate to Melanoma, his name was Adam Smiddy and he also was just 26 years of age. I started a charity ride back then in Adam's name called Smiling for Smiddy, we have since raised in excess of $1.7 Million dollars in 4 years. I invite you to check out our website, google Smiling for Smiddy. If I can help in any way please feel free to contact me through the Smiddy website. My name is Mark Smoothy. Thinking of you. Take care.

I was diagnosed at the age of 27. I had it on my back. It had spread to my lymph nodes 9 years later and it has now taken over 16 months and 6 surgeries to get rid of it from my chest. All good now but there is a high risk of spreading further and I have to keep a close eye on it for the rest of my life. My best wishes to the Bonny family and his friends.
