Hi all,

The second annual NYC Cancer Walk will be taking place in Harlem again this year on April 14, 2007. Last year this event raised $20,000 for the OCF. Money which is desperately needed to help keep this foundation afloat.

Last year 3 OCF members, attended and it was a very rewarding day. It was great to personally meet Sheldon Sax (SSAX) and his wife there. For those of you that don't know Shel, he lives in Middlebury Vermont and he is the one that keeps the "Oral Cancer In The News" section of this site up to date, to the minute. Barbara Boland (BOBB131), always the biggest fund raiser for OCF, was also there with her family entourage. Marilyn & I enjoyed the day and look forward to a repeat this year.

I'm hoping that more members can make it this year. It's a great opportunity to help raise money and to put a face with those screen names that we see everyday.

Brian, could you get the new flyer on the website? Until that's done, you can see last years flyer by clicking here: http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/events/current_events.htm

If you can't make it to the event, but you want to help out with fund raising or just to make a personal donation for the event, checks can be mailed to me and I will get them to the event. Last year I received checks from many members that couldn't make it and helped to support me in this walk. Checks should be made out to the Oral Cancer Foundation and can be mailed to:

Dr. Jerold B. Wilck
680 Middletown Blvd.
Suite 201
Langhorne, PA 19047

PS Brian told me that there will also be another walk this year in June, in Chicago. The goal is to add walks each year all over the country.

Thanks.

Jerry
