I'm light skinned and in no way, shape or form compatible with the sun! But like most, I have on occasion forgotten to take any sun cream. I've now (as of today) got a bottle specifically for my rucksack which will live in there permanently and I'm even considering one of those long sleeved UV type tops - maybe even one of the ones Danny referred to in the podcast as some of the money goes to charity. It's definitely worth being extra careful!

If you listen mate he said 50% goes to a kids cancer charity and now the other 50% goes to cancer research so Korda aren't making a penny off the clothing.
I have long ignored what others say about mr fairbrass in regards to his personality and have always been a supporter of his. But it's a whole new level that people have downvoted that on YouTube. My mums best friend passed away from melanoma it's such an important message and so brave to broadcast it to the world

I have always been an advocate for staying out of the sun .
In fact I stop fishing when it's hot apart from French trips in 40 c but I try to stay out of the sun .
Most are not aware being close to water intensifies the UV and most don't give it a second thought .
I wouldn't wish this on anybody and was truly shocked that he has this .
I have never been a Korda fan as everybody knows and been banned for it .
In my opinion Danny is going through hell and I wish him a speedy recovery to this tragic episode and the way he is trying to get the word out to save other anglers and sun worshipers from this tragic form of cancer
He has gone stratospheric in my estimation of him and I hope he does get better .
So many forget when they are out in the sun and I hope everyone takes on board the message that Danny is trying to get out there to educate the masses .

The last few years I have been really aware of the dangers of the sun. Cover up and sit in the shade always wearing a hat now.
Well done Danny for speaking up to warn and remind everyone of the dangers. Hope he is on the road to having the all clear in the future.

I never used to be his biggest fan, but listening to his previous podcasts really changed my viewes of him. He is an exeptionally passionate man who absolutely adores fishing.
One thing this podcast really hit more to me was tge difference with private health care. He said himself how fortunate he was to be able to use private. How worlds apart the level of care for him has been, especially hearing the podcast with frank warrick where he had a stroke, and the hospital just sent him home.

Shocked when I watched it yesterday, literally, I hope his message strikes home, top man

Thanks guys,I have been very lucky as I have only got blurred vision in my left eye which hopefully will improve with time.The medication I'm on has now made gout flare up in my feet but I'm on medication for it all.It just makes you realise how fragile life really can be
