Amy was one of my closest friends growing up. We ran track together as kiddos and played club and high school soccer together. We even got to play against one another in college with Dunn at Boise State and I was playing at the University of Montana.

My Melanoma journey started 14 years ago in April 2009. After a few years of getting my skin “semi” checked by my general practitioner, I decided it was time to get a thorough skin exam by a dermatologist. I made an appointment at the dermatology clinic where my cousin, Heather, worked as a nurse practitioner…

I was 28-years-old when my physician’s assistant at my dermatology clinic found my Stage I Melanoma on my left upper thigh. I probably would not have caught it and been so proactive if it weren’t for Amy. I was a television reporter for KTVB in Boise, Idaho, and I covered Amy’s story after she passed away...

Michael and Holly Simis noticed a “wart” under their 4-year-old daughter Shaelyn's (Shae) chin/neck area. It looked like a wart but the pesky thing wouldn't go away no matter how it was treated, so they went to urgent care to get it removed. As a precaution, the doctor sent the wart on to pathology for examination.

I have a really ironic story and I feel that sharing with people will bring awareness to something we don’t think about…Melanoma.

Amy's premature passing was a shock to many. I was in college at the time and was at an age when you felt invincible. My health was on the back burner as I focused on graduation and beyond, but the loss of Amy changed that.
