At the Martinsburg Mall in Martinsburg, West Virginia, Relay for Life organizer and cancer survivor George Blough organized an event in an effort to raise money for cancer charity and break the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people in one place wearing Groucho Marx masks. Mall shoppers could buy a Groucho Marx mask for $5 dollars, with the money going to cancer research, and in wearing the Groucho Marx mask, become part of a record-breaking moment. I did research on this world record-breaking attempt, and discovered that many Relay for Life groups participate in the attempt at breaking the world record for the most people in one place wearing Groucho Marx masks. What a silly fun way to go about raising money for cancer charity.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have boarded the American Academy of Dermatology, AAD, vessel to join forces in an attempt to
set a Guinness World Record for the
most skin cancer screenings performed in a single day. On May 6, AAD and local dermatologists are hoping to set a
world record for the most skin cancer screenings in a single day by asking everyone to participate in a free day of
skin cancer screening. The three main locations are New York City; South Street Seaport, Washington, DC; Union Station
Mall and Chicago Navy Pier. The AAD world record webpage provides a map showing locations in each state
where free skin cancer screenings will take place. But even if it wasn't free, getting screened for skin cancer is a smart move for pirates and landlubbers alike who spend many hours in the sun. More than one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year and nearly 11,000 people will die from skin cancer. With early detection and diagnosis, 95 percent of skin cancer can be cured. The Pirates organization has agreed to be screened for skin cancer by local dermatologists this summer as part of the Play Smart When It Comes to the Sun program, a public service partnership with Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association.
