William Roache supports Melanoma Research Fund

William Roache, who plays Coronation Street's Ken Barlow, is a supporter of the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund - a charity which aims to raise awareness of the potential damage the sun can do to our skin. Why not have a look at the charity’s site.

This is what William has to say about their work: 'I would like to congratulate all at the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund for their energy and imagination in their efforts to raise awareness of melanoma. I am happy to support and help the Trust, because by raising awareness many lives can be saved'

The charity is holding a Skin Awareness Week from 21st June which will encourage people to be more skin aware and vigilant of sun damage on their skin.
