EHE International and The Bob Cooke Skin Cancer Foundation, Inc. to Promote Skin
Cancer Awareness

NEW YORK, July 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EHE International and The Bob Cooke
Skin Cancer Foundation, Inc. are working together to raise awareness of skin
cancer and sun safety. Skin cancer information will be displayed during the
month of July in a window space at 10 Rockefeller Plaza. The window space was
generously donated by EHE International.

According to Executive Director/Founder, Sherrill Cooke Collins, "We are so
honored that we can continue to grow our mission in the heart of New York City.
We thank EHE International for giving us this opportunity. Early detection and
prevention is key. Between the sun safety display and skin cancer facts/photos,
the foundation is hopeful the message we are conveying will help save lives."

"With the extreme increase of people diagnosed with skin cancer each year it is
so important to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease," said
Deborah McKeever, President of EHE International. "If we can get one person to
the doctor to get their annual skin cancer screening and help save one life we
have completed our mission."

One in Five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime and
it is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S. More cases of skin cancer are
diagnosed each year than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer combined.
