Eric,

Congratulations on your 1000th post and reaching the Patient Advocate status!

Sorry we had to meet under these circumstances, but I am truly glad to know you. You help make the OCF forum the special place that it is � a place for those facing oral cancer to come to learn, share their experiences, get advice, make friends and get the needed support to make it through this difficult time in their lives. You do it with wit and humor, and also some tough love when needed.

To help you to meet your goal to attend more OCF sponsored awareness walks across the US, please considered coming to the 3rd annual oral cancer awareness walk in the Lehigh Valley / Bethlehem, PA on October 1st. This walk is being organized by a group of OC survivors, family members and friends. We have two 13 year survivors and a 17 year survivor on our committee, plus a number of other survivors.

I enjoy reading your posts, so keep up the good work and keep the posting coming! Well done!

Susan
