Billy Ballew Motorsports along with its sponsor Graceway Pharmaceuticals, LLC are promoting a national public education campaign to raise awareness of actinic keratosis (AK) – a potential early warning sign of skin cancer – as well as the long-term consequences of accumulated sun damage. It is estimated that about 10 million Americans have AK, a common pre-cancer that often develops on skin frequently exposed to the sun. AK is a visible sign of sun damage caused by the accumulation of harmful rays under the skin. AKs are small, red, sometimes scaly or rough spots that can be found on skin most often exposed to the sun like the face, bald scalp, hands, shoulders and arms. Because you cannot predict whether an AK will develop into cancer, it is important to check any changes in your skin with a doctor. The “Is it AK or OK?” design will be featured on the #15 Graceway Pharmaceuticals Toyota Tundra for the remainder of the 2009 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. For more information on AK please visit www.IsItAKorOK.com. “Is it AK or OK?” is sponsored by Graceway Pharmaceuticals, in partnership with the Skin Cancer Foundation.(Billy Ballew Motorsports PR)(9-26-2009)
