Anyone who is an oral cancer survivor gets to attend the OCF walks for free. Even though they are free, many survivors will make a donor drive page to fund raise for OCF. Every little bit helps!

If you live within driving distance PLEASE consider taking a few hours out of your busy life to attend a walk. Meeting other survivors is a memorable experience, its like you are meeting old friends. You cant imagine what a great feeling it is to be among other survivors and caregivers. We all bond instantly since we all 'get it'.

Anyone who is able to attend the St Paul walk, please send me a PM so I can be sure to look for you.
