I finally got to meet our Awesome Christine at the Chattanooga Awareness Walk! I can see why she is in such demand as a speaker! The weather was cool but the warmth and friendliness that radiated from everyone there more than made up for the unusually cool weather. One of the doctors gave a great talk and demonstration of how to make a self oral exam � kind of like a self breast exam except in your mouth and neck area! What a great event and kudos to Jeanna Richelson, Susan Lauria and everyone who made it possible! That includes those who can�t make it to a Walk but donate to the Oral Cancer Foundation. Just know that no matter the size of your donation, you are helping to save someone�s life.

That famous line from a poem by John Milton comes to mind: �They also serve who only stand and wait� could be changed to: �They also serve who only stand (or sit) and donate to OCF.�

I�ve always been grateful more than words can say for all the kind and caring OCF people who helped my son survive his oral cancer. I�m also grateful to those who donated to OCF and to them I have to say: Thank you. You helped save my son�s life and that is no small thing.
