Hi Christine,
Thank you for your kind words. My brothers loss has been devastating to me and my family. By doing this walk I am honoring his memory and helping others, help which I could not give my brother. I am so much more informed now.
I do read the message boards quite often, you have been so helpful and thoughtful to alot people. I am sure you have made many people a little less stressed and your words have been comforting.
My walk is located in Andover, NJ at Perona Farms, on Andover-Sparta Road. It is in Northwest Jersey. This was our home for many years and my brothers friends planted a tree of life there with a stone with his name on it. My brother was cremated and his ashes were spread in the ocean, he was a surfer for many years. Ithought it would be a perfect place to have the first walk.
Registrtion begins at 9:00 and the 2 mile walk begins at 11:00 am. Ido have a stage 4 oral cancer survivor to speak after the walk, as well as refreshments.
The walk is up on the OCF website
http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/events/current_events.htm I will try to post more informtion on the message board. Thanks for your help.
Take care and once my walk is done I will be more focused on strting the state chapters. I look forward to working with you as well.
Susan
