We're delighted to have been part of the very successful 'Get Your Kit
Off' free skin check day at the Canterbury Charity Hospital on Saturday. This
fantastic initiative was the brainchild of Christchurch Real Estate Agent
Leeann Marriott who organised the event once she realised that, although New
Zealand has one of the highest rates of melanoma in the world, our public
health system doesn't fund skin-cancer screenings. Leeann's own brother Andrew
Bulman lost his life to skin cancer, which went undetected until it was too
late, which makes this a cause very dear to her heart. Congratulations and
thanks to Leeann, the dermatologists and many other volunteers who gave their
time for free on Saturday, the other sponsors and the Charity Hospital. You can
