Odeya Pinkus - October 2024
Meteorologist Sam Champion shared details on Good Morning America about his recent surgery to remove his basal cell carcinoma. He noticed a small spot under his eye when he went to his dermatologist who removed it. He used the opportunity as a teaching moment and encourage viewers to get regular check-ups and use proper skin care like sunscreen.
"When I’m not bringing you the weather I love nothing more than being outside, but these days I wouldn’t think about going outside without sunscreen"
This is not the first time Champion has been diagnosed or used his platform for education on skin cancer. In 2010 he underwent Mohs surgery on air to treat a spot on his shoulder.
