Great job to our own Davidcpa, Kathy and Kevin Pruyne! Thanks so much for your participation in this article. So far I havent seen it on the OCF newsfeed. Im sure it will be there very soon.

CURE magazine article HPV and OC


My local newspaper has also done a small story about me. It was very short and unfortunately they barely mentioned OCF.

LehighValleyLive's article about Christine Brader

Thanks for sharing these Christine! Love it

Being Facebook challenged, I was glad to see the smiling faces of our own dear Christine, Kathy and Kevin. But no picture of our 'lean cyclist' David - would have expected to see him on his bike.

Both articles are actually very good for their venues and intended audiences. Thanks to all who participated and to the authors for a job well done.

This is a GREAT article! Thank you, Christine for posting the link. It is so nice to read about Kevin, Kathy, and David, and the University of Pennsylvania's Dr. Bert O'Malley.

"Along with a physician colleague, O�Malley has developed a robotic surgery protocol called TransOral Robotic Surgery..."

The physician colleague mentioned here is Dr. Greg Weinstein, who was Clark's surgeon. I can't say enough good things about the guy.

:o) awesome.... you all are heroes... thanks for helping spread awareness.

Maria, if you are interested in seeing Davidcpa check out the main OCF pages. There is an "About Us" section and then its under "key staff". It has photos and bios of many OCF volunteers.

PS... I forgot to thank Gabe for bringing the article to my attention. She was the first one to see it and she passed it along to me. Thanks Gabe!!!!

Thanks, Christine - I never meandered through that section. Still think we need a photo of the man and his bike, though.

No problem Christine...
Both articles are great and do a wonderful job of bringing awareness to the general public on oral cancer, each from a different perspective.
I can relate to your story and admire your advocating for smoking prevention.
I started reading the Cure article and immediately realise I knew these people especially when Alaska was mentioned.
Then a little further down I saw our David quoted
I may not post as often as I used to but am certainly reading most days.

Here is a link to Jeanna's Washing DC trip for the Jefferson Awards. She is a great advocate for oral cancer in Tennessee!!!

I have lodged an Offical Complaint with Cure. I told them to recall their mags and reprint the article with my picture. No response yet but I'll keep everyone posted.

You tell 'em David!!!!

I know you have been in all kinds of other publications with your activism. You are one smart guy about HPV and everything about OC. I know you have given me lots of guidance when I first joined.


I loved Kathy and Kevin in their burgundy OCF tshirts!!!!

I wish we had had a better shot of the emblem though!
