Ashley Trenner knows she is on her deathbed and has only one wish: she hopes others will learn from her negative example. Ashley has a habit that made her sick and will kill her soon.
She does not smoke, does not drink, does not take drugs, eats very healthy, and has an active life. The problem is with what she likes to do in her free time to improve her physical appearance. Ashley has become addicted to solarium and now has end-stage metastasis, skin cancer.
Here is what she herself confesses: “I used to say that I don’t care if I die of tanning, as long as I die of tanning. I used to say that, but I don’t believe it anymore “.
When Ashley turned 33, she finally realized that the decades she spent days at tanning salons had finally put a lid on it. She was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma, and from now on she will be under treatment for years. She is now 40 years old and the cancer has spread throughout the body.
The lesson she learned is this, in her own words: “I paid money to get what I am now.”
