Hi Ann,

Last year my wife and I had already raised money for the ACS when I was diagnosed with Oral Cancer. The event was 2 months after my surgery and I attended for the first time as a survivor. I had also just found the OCF at that time and decided to volunteer to do the screenings at this year's event. I have no regrets for my past fund raising, but under the circumstances, I am glad that I have changed my priorities.

It's great that you plan to try to get the sreenings set up for your area next year. If you have success and the dentist(s) and/or hygienist(s) are willing to do it and need some help with banners, ideas, forms, brochures, etc. please give them my email address as I would be more than happy to help.

Good luck with your wisdom teeth. No one looks forward to having them out, but knowing that they will never give you a problem in the future, is worth having it done.
