I don't know that it would be an issue, after all, all the proceeds from this event are to benefit OCF, and one student and I conceptualized and started the ball rolling on all this last Oct. I just thought that given the number of dental students walking it would perhaps allow you to stand out from them and engage in dialogs that might not come up otherwise if you were just another walker.... and you clearly are not. You are a survivor, and uniquely one in the profession they aspire to graduate into. But please, do what you think is appropriate.
