The popular East Belfast mom, Tazmyn Patterson, who inspired many, has passed away.
Who was Tazmyn Patterson?
Tazmyn Patterson was an influencer, mother of three diagnosed with skin cancer. She had held several campaigns against sunbeds since it gives out harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause skin cancer, whether melanoma or non-melanoma.
It has also been proved that many sunbeds give greater doses of skin cancer than the midday tropical sun.
She used to post many graphic photos of her procedures related to skin cancer recovery to warn people about the consequences one might face if they keep using sunbeds.
