Damien MacRae would rather blend in with the crowd, but these days, with a large blue-and-silver umbrella over his head in sunny weather, he attracts plenty of stares.
“When I’m walking down the street, people look at me," the 43-year-old said. “I haven’t had anyone come up to me and ask ‘Why do you have an umbrella?’ but I’m looking forward to that moment when I get to explain."
Mr. MacRae, with the support of Cancer Council Australia and Melanoma Institute Australia, is on a mission to get more Australians using umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun’s deadly UV-rays.
