Please help! I need a good attention getter on my speech about some risks, myths, and tips on tanning beds.

1. start with a fact.. like Did you know ______ get skin cancer from sun tanning? But Did you know that more people get skin cancer from tanning beds? that would interest me!
2. A picture is an easy and simple way to grab people's attention, perhaps a picture of some of the damages of tanning beds (shock tatics),
3. Find some good, graphic pix of older people w/horrible skin. I'm talking those horrible huge moles that look like dried leather. I was once a devout sun worshiper in my younger days. Then I got a look @the human body after 50-60 yrs of that. In a word "Disgusting." One 65yoa women w/totally gross huge leather-like mles covering her back still sticks in my mind. It looked like someone took handfuls of mud, & stuck them, layered, to her back. It was disgusting, & all caused by too much sun as a youngin'.
4. tanning beds make you look old before your time.. turns your skin 2 the leather look too.. true story.. it happened about 15 years ago,, this girl/women wanted 2 be tanned 4 her wedding and jumped around from tanning places 2 much in a short period of time.. maybe a day or 2.. and what happened was the rays from the tanning booth fried her insides and she died just before her wedding.. bummer eh ~
