We regret to inform you of Natalie’s death on January 14, 2023, after a long fight with metastatic melanoma. Natalie, then 28, was diagnosed with stage III metastatic melanoma in 2014 after spotting a mole on her toe. Despite undergoing cancer removal surgery, she was diagnosed with stage IV in 2018. Natalie boldly announced her fatal diagnosis with her Instagram followers in 2022, detailing her experience with the sickness.
Despite the sadness and fear of her terminal diagnosis, Natalie found comfort in the love of her life, Alexander, whom she married in November of 2022, surrounded by their closest loved ones. Her marriage to Alexander was a day filled with love and proved to be a bright spot amidst the darkness of her illness.
Natalie’s friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign to support Alexander and Natalie’s family during this difficult time. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. You can donate by clicking this link.
In addition to supporting Natalie’s loved ones, a petition has been created to ban tanning products in Australia, as the country has the highest skin cancer rate in the world, with overexposure to UV light from the sun causing 95% of melanomas (according to a study by the World Cancer Research Fund and the Melanoma Institute Australia). The petition calls on the Department of Health to thoroughly investigate the advertising and marketing of tanning products in Australia and take quick action to prevent young people from following dangerous trends and paying the price for generations before them.
Natalie’s story highlights the devastating reality of skin cancer and the importance of protecting our skin from the harmful effects of UV light. In memory of Natalie, we encourage everyone to take precautions when enjoying the sun, to protect their skin and reduce their risk of developing skin cancer.
