I think you really have to make a point of talking about oral cancer at these sorts of events. When we did the Relay, our entire team focused on oral cancer (most team members work in my cousins dental office).

We attracted quite a bit of attention. Many people hadn't even considered oral cancer, and certainly didn't view it as the killer that it is. I spent a lot of time that evening talking to people about my experience, and handing out brochures. We really have to be our own advocates in this fight. There are so many types of cancer that receive much more publicity and funding, we get a bit lost in the shuffle
