At the young age 26 this week's guest, Summer Kramer of SUMMERSKIN was diagnosed with melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer). While fortunately, she discovered the cancerous mole early enough to treat it, the event itself forever changed her life. Following surgery and at her dermatologist's recommendation, Summer sought out to buy sun protective clothing to shield herself from the sun's harsh rays. To her terror, she quickly discovered her only options were baggy safari gear, zip-off pants, and floppy hats (thanks, but no thanks). On a mission to create clothing that would not only protect her skin but also be stylish enough that she would actually want to leave her house, she sought out to create her own clothing line. How did this boss babe who was trained as a pharmacist go on to create an international clothing brand that has been featured in Elle Magazine, InStyle Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, and the Today Show to name a few? Tune into this week's episode of The Big Leap Show to find out...
