It is getting close to the time for our NYC oral cancer walk and free screening event again in April. I am putting this up early so those in the area can save the date. This year besides all the students and doctors from NYU, Columbia etc. we will be having cast members from the long running TV show
As the World Turns come out as a team to walk with us, sign autographs,etc. One of the show's long term regular actors, oral cancer survivor Colleen Zenk Pinter will be there as well. This is one great lady.
I encourage anyone within driving distance of the event to come down. I will make it this year, and I would love to meet you as well as share the day with you all. Prizes for those with the greatest number of sponsors and the two largest
donation collectors via sponsorships. The first year Barbara Boland won a free round trip ticket to anywhere Jet Blue flies... last year IPOD's were given away, this year... something special from OCF besides the door prizes from NYU. But it's really about getting the word out to the public, doing the free screenings to help people, and the camaraderie of those of us that are survivors. Info here:
