"With our mouth we eat and drink what sustains us ... communicate ideas and feelings to the world through speech or a simple smile ... taste the nuance of a fine wine, the sweetness of a freshly picked berry, or mustard covered hot dog at the ballpark ... Love or passion is expressed by it when we kiss a loved one or child. When cancer affects our mouths, it does more than take away these everyday functions, it too often takes our lives." Oral cancer affects approximately 43,250 people every years. One person every hour of every day will die from this disease. Over 115 new individuals will be diagnosed with it each day. Through a quick and painless screening, oral cancer can be found early in its development. -- The Oral Cancer Foundation
The Student National Dental Association of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry will be hosting its 3rd Annual Oral Cancer 5K Walk/Run and FREE oral cancer screenings in collaboration with the Student National Dental Association of the University of Louisville College of Dentistry to raise funds and awareness for oral cancer treatment and prevention. Proceeds and donations collected for this event will benefit the Bruce Paltrow Fund of the Oral Cancer Foundation. This fund and foundation aides in supporting research, providing free screening events, and promoting awareness of oral cancer especially in minorities and underserved populations in urban and rural settings. These communities often are responsible for twice the incidence and twice the death rate. By supporting our event, you will be helping raise awareness of oral cancer.
