This weekend, November 6th, we have 2 oral cancer awareness walks:
St. Petersburg, Florida
Camanche, Iowa
If anyone lives near these walks, please come and support the OCF and oral cancer awareness!!
As I have said before, having OCF members attend and support these events adds so much! Perhaps you can all meet each other as well!!
Any questions, please pm me! Or visit the OCF events site, for more information.
Have a wonderful evening!!
