Mouth Cancer Walk 2010

18 September 2010

The annual Mouth Cancer Walk event is in Kensington Gardens (it is next to Hyde Park), London. It meets several objectives. Firstly, it is a unique free fun day event to increase public awareness of mouth cancer with free mouth cancer screening provided by dentists to participants and the public at the event. Secondly, the event provides head and neck cancer patients, their carers and survivors with the only annual event that recognises their cancer. Survivors wear sashes and celebrate survivorship. Thirdly, it also provides family and friends with an event with which they can remember the loved ones they have lost to mouth cancer. Fourthly, the event gets the attention of the media and public with stories in local and national media about their participation and so gets the mouth cancer awareness message heard all over the country. It is an event for everyone.
