Wow, how time seems to fly! We are looking forward to seeing you all next week, everyone have safe travels.
For the
Heartland Gives Back initiative for our Luray rally, we have selected to promote and donate collective funds to a very important cause. We will support the
Oral Cancer Cause, an organization dedicated to create awareness of oral cancer, and to help many oral cancer survivors. Oral cancer patients have historically only had a 50% survivor rate. This is blamed largely on receiving late diagnosis of the cancer when it is already at an advanced stage of development. Unfortunately, the number of people diagnosed with oral cancer is on the rise, especially among the younger generation. Early detection increases the survival rate to 80%-90%! IT IS IMPORTANT TO SCHEDULE FOR A YEARLY ORAL CANCER SCREENING!
We are very fortunate to have one of our own among us that has taken on the task of sharing knowledge about oral cancer to as many people as possible.
Reta Phillips Hill will have a brief presentation as well as oral cancer literature after our Saturday dinner. Following Reta's presentation we will have a monetary collection that will be sent to the Oral Cancer Cause organization based in Clearwater, Florida, on behalf of the Virginia and West Virginia Chapter of the Heartland Owners Club. Heartlander's have BIG hearts!
