Hi, Jerry,

My group arrived shortly before you went on stage but the PA system was somewhat poor and all I could understand was that you were standing in for someone who couldn't make the event (later I heard it was Brian) and that you were a 4 year survivor (followed by applause!). I tried to get a look at you but my husband was getting an oral cancer screen at that moment and serving as a sort of living training experience (with pretty much all of the dental trainees standing around him asking questions and learning more about an actual person with oral cancer) so I couldn't see past them to to the stage. I was there with my husband and my daughter (young blond in shorts and tank top) and her boyfriend (tall, dark hair). I have shoulder length blondish hair and wore my walk t-shirt most of the time or a black tank top. We might have stood out because my husband is still quite thin and has the radiated skin look (loose, wrinkly) to some extent and most of those participating seemed to be dental students and health personnel. We finished the walk among the last people as we stopped a couple of times. I wish I had known that was you as I would have loved meeting you!

We plan to walk again next year so I really hope to meet you then. You have been so helpful to me (and others) on this board.

Sophie (Mary Ann but that name was already taken so I took my cat's name)
