We are in talks right now of what we will be doing. She is also planning an oral cancer walk for next year in the Chicago area as well. If anyone who lives in the area and would like to be on the committee, please send me a message and I will hook you up with her. She could use allthe help she can get. She is very anxious to help OCF, her cousin is battling oc and she really wants to help spread the message of oc awareness. Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you have some time and really want to make a difference, please contact me!! Thank you so much!
