The march will also raise awareness about the importance of early detection and to remember those who have died from the disease. Melanoma is dubbed “Australia’s national cancer” and claims the life of one person every six hours.
The local march will be the first of 24 planned for this year.
The special guest will be the founder and MelanomaWA chief executive Clinton Heal.
