Our Friend Died at 26': The Birth of Skin Check Champions
On this episode of The Yarn, we hear the remarkable story of how Scott Maggs turned personal tragedy into lifesaving action. After losing our friend Wes to skin cancer at 26, Maggs created a movement that began with growing beards and evolved into Skin Check Champions. Learn how a conversation at a wake led to 22,000 free skin checks, the discovery of 500 potential melanomas, and a million-dollar beard auction that changed Australia's approach to early detection.
Join us as we explore how grief became purpose with Scott Maggs, the founder turning facial hair into lifesaving conversations.
