We are going to brainstorm ideas and where the walk will take place and the route. I am so excited about getting the word out about oral cancer. When I was talking to the director she agreed that not enough people know about this type of cancer. YEAH!!!

The place will probably be at a stadium or track. The dental hygiene clinic is going to try to get mobile dental van so we can do oral cancer screenings. I am so excited and they were excited that I called them.
