The Lance Armstrong Foundation, for whom I have recorded several taped interviews on survivorship, has asked that I spread the word to our base of influence to participate in the LAF Make the Promise effort. It costs nothing and your name will be added to the thousands of names being taken to Washington by Lance. If you go to the page below, it will give you a form to fill in. Please, in the blank that asks who you wish to honor or remember, put in the Oral Cancer Foundation if you do not have a specific person that you wish to place here. My hope is that OCF will appear with thousands of names that are taken to Washington. Send it along to your friends and ask them to do the same. It costs you nothing, though you will probably get annual emails from LAF asking for financial assistance. While I encourage people to give where their heart tells them, I also ask them to put there money where their mouth is.... here at OCF. http://www.tourofhope.org/promise/index.php

Brian:

Thanks for posting this link. I wear my yellow band everywhere and still wish we had an OCF band or pin. etc. to add! Go OCF-let's hope our names turns up ten times over.

Promises are for keeps.

Promise has been made. I have read about this yellow armband, where do you get it?

Sherrie, you can order online thru www.laf.org. Take Care, Carol

OCF will be getting 500 as soon as the next batch comes in. You will be able to get it from us as well.

Sorry, I didn't know that. Carol

Thanks Brian, I wanted some also.

As soon as they come in, which is supposed to be in the next 2-4 weeks (we will get them at the same time as LAF puts them in their store) I will post that they are in. Please do not buy one from the profiteers on ebay that are now selling them for between 5 and 25 dollars!! That is how great the demand is.

Anyone who makes a donation to OCF will get some, those that want to buy them can have them for $2.00 ($1.00 for Lance, $1.00 for OCF) if they send a stamped envelope with their request to us. Normal shipping out of LAF is $3.00 for 1-10, and we will do the same by USPS if you do not send a postage inclusive envelope.

Brian,

I walked into Nike Town in NYC after my 2nd chemo round, July 28th. I was in all my bald splendor and the girl gave me the last 3 they had stashed behind the counter! A cancer perk, I guess. Did you order any youth size bands? The ladies will find that they fit better. My daughter, 15 years old, is swiming in hers. Just a thought.
