Brian, stage 4 oral cancer survivor. OCF Founder and Director. The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 475 Platinum Member (300+ posts) | OP Platinum Member (300+ posts) Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 475 | Hi Mike,
So sorry you missed the walk in Dallas! I try to post them on the forum before each event to let everyone know but you can always keep up to date by checking our current events site with the link Brian gave above.
We might be having one in the Houston area as well. We have a member interested in organizing one. Once it does happen, I will always post.
Thank you again Mike!
Susan

There is an American Cancer Society Relay for Life event in Kaufman county this Friday. I signed up to walk as a survivor and joined a team, but now I have to travel for work and will miss that event as well.
