The Cover Up

Four years ago, Stefani Schuetz was diagnosed with stage II melanoma skin cancer.

Before that moment, the then 25-year-old didn't think much of running outside to train for triathlons in a sports bra with no sunscreen. “I didn't know it was going to be threatening my life,” she says.

After the melanoma was removed from the back of her right thigh, she returned to training. She started competing in triathlons when she was 18, and she didn't want to stop. But now things were different. There were no more casual sun-drenched runs.
