Dear Ms. Danner,

As I do every night, I have just signed onto the OCF board and was greeted with the new forum layout and software, which I understand was made possible by your extreme generosity. I personally want to thank you for making this possible.

For the past 2 and a half years the OCF has become a daily part of my life. It has allowed me to reach out to people all over the world and enabled me to, in some small way, try to help fellow survivors of oral cancer get answers to some of their questions. As an oral cancer survivor and a practicing dentist, the OCF has provided me with the opportunity to help others, learn things that I didn't know about oral cancer, and become friends with some absolutely wonderful people all over the United States and all over the world. I truly feel being a member has made me a better person.

I would also like to thank you for partnering with us through the Bruce Paltrow Fund. There is no doubt in my mind that your association with the OCF will help to bring Oral Cancer and the need for early detection to the public's eyes and ears. We will be forever appreciative of your generosity.
