After reading some recent posts I get the impression that we all are dissapointed in the survival rates of this disease and would like to do something about it. Also Jerry and Amy are participating in upcoming oral cancer walks. Jerry in the NYC walk and Amy in the CHICAGO walk. I personally will pledge $50 to both of you and welcome all of you to join me. You can private message them for details of how to forward them your pledge. You can also awnser this post with your name and let's see if we can get 100 pledges. The amount is up to you,but I will say this--- the peace, comfort,feeling of support, love,pain,loss,and victories we share with each other is invaluable.If we can get 100 pledges I,ll even pose in a bikini.Thank you Jerry and Amy I hope your efforts will be rewarded.

Mark, excellent idea....I would love to walk in the NYC one and get a lot of sponsors but if I cannot do it, I am definitely going to sponsor Jerry and Amy..A few years back, Minnie organized the first walk in Virginia Beach and it was an honor to be part of it!

I'll pledge to both Jerry and Amy.

How about you two posting the details of how we might forward our donations. I presume that you would rather not publish your addresses online, so let us know how you would like to proceed.

I wish I could come to NYC too. I'm a good walker! If we send you our pledges, will you carry our pictures or at least a list of our names, so that we will be represented too? I'd love that!

On another note, I am thinking of getting a PO box to be printed in the newspaper article and other such public places. Maybe I can post that here somewhere once I get it. I don't mind sharing my address with you, but maybe a bit leary of just posting it for the whole world to see. And for those of you that maybe can't afford to pledge, your good wishes are inspiring too.

This is amazing. This show of support for OCF is fantastic. Thank you Mark for getting the ball rolling for everyone's support.

I posted my office address in the Activism Forum and have no problem posting it here.

Oral Cancer Foundation
C/O Dr. Jerold B. Wilck
KWH Dental Associates
Suite 201
680 Middletown Blvd.
Langhorne, PA 19047

Putting OCF on top will assure the mail getting right to my desk.

Don't look for your checks to be cashed for a while as I will hand them in at the walk.

Thank you one and all.

Jerry

I sent my address to those of you who asked, with the exception of Linda. I can't get a link to your email address. If you send me one, I'll send you my address. I am also going to be part of the 50/50. I will send Jerry a check and also sponsor myself for 50. You guys are great. Now, where to come up with the other 9800 smackers?
