Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Garden City), Chair of the Senate Health Committee, recently interviewed the Biggane Family about the importance of skin cancer awareness and prevention. As a sophomore in college, Mollie Biggane discovered a mole on her thigh. In the following six months, she underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. The Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation was created in her memory after her tragic death at the age of twenty.

Senator Hannon interviewed Mollie's father, Jack and sisters Julie and Cara about their experience and what they are doing to spread the word about the dangers of undetected skin cancer and how we can limit our exposure to UV rays. The Biggane Family founded Mollie's Fund, whose mission is to increase awareness for melanoma prevention, provide information and services on skin cancer detection, and support melanoma patients through education of the latest treatments.
