Dr. Chris Steele MBE
Dr. Chris Steele is the ”resident doctor” on the popular ITV This Morning programme. He
appeared on the very first show twenty years ago and still appears each week. Chris who qualified as a doctor in l968 also writes for both Woman Magazine and Top Sante.
Perhaps more than any other clinician, he had pioneered the use of the television and internet mediums to inform and educate the general public on a whole range of health matters. Live breast and testicular self-examination videos were introduced by Chis on youtube.com. He also produced a weight loss system for the This Morning programme in 1989. Over 150,000 viewers subsequently requested details.
Once he had learned of the aims and objectives of the charity, Chris was very keen to get involved. At a meeting at the ITV studios in July, he confirmed that interest and he will be working with the SKCIN Management Committee in the months ahead to raise skin cancer awareness nationwide
Gary Wolstenholme MBE
E
ngland’s most capped amateur golfer Gary has strong views on the need to create greater awareness of the dangers of over exposure to the sun. When asked to feature on campaign posters targeting over 1 million English club golfers about the problems of over exposure, he was pleased to participate. (See English Golf Unions SKCIN and Uvistat Combine To Great Effect.)
Gary will help to spread the word as he competes at home and abroad. Having toured Australia with the England team in January, Gary has moved from Leicestershire to Cumbria to look after his mother. Aged 47 and a committed supporter of youth development within the amateur game, he has played more than 200 times for England and in no less than six Walker Cup matches – a remarkable record.
