Like many of her teenage counterparts, Kay Hendricks worshiped the sun. A native of Atlanta, she spent many hours in the sun with baby oil and iodine as her favorite tanning tool. Twenty years later, this lethal combination would come back to haunt her in the form of malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

After her diagnosis and surgery, Kay became afraid of the sun. Short of staying indoors until sundown or applying sun block every two hours, Kay knew she needed a more practical way to protect her skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Kay began searching and found a product she had not known was available: UV protective clothing. She ordered several pieces and began wearing them all the time.

The lack of locally available sun protective clothing, and Kay's passion for keeping herself and her family protected, have inspired Kay to open up UV Gear & Fashion, her own clothing store dedicated to selling UV protective items. This, she feels, is her way of helping others to continue to enjoy the sun while minimizing the harm it causes. Prevention and protection, without fear or avoidance, is what Kay Hendricks knows is the way to enjoy being touched by the sun.

Kay is proud to offer the very first retail store in Georgia and website dedicated to selling UVA/UVB protection products. Their goal is to offer you quality products with exceptional customer service and provide for your personal or business' sun protection needs.

UV Gear & Fashion is the exclusive seller of Radx Radiation Therapy products.
