Great post, Dave!

I just feel so grateful that I have been a part of this community.

I hope to give back what I have so generously been given.

Thank you to all of you for all that you have done for me and continue to do each day for the group.

Brian Hill, you are an inspiration to us all and I know that I am not alone when I say "thank you" for starting The Oral Cancer Foundation and continuing to make it a pillar in the OHANC community.

Love in OCF,
Kerri
