for treatment and by a group effort through the society’s loan closet of expensive sickroom equipment. Our unit has also organized screening clinics for oral and skin cancer and co-sponsors with the health department a regular pap clinic for the detection of uterine cancer.
All of this work and more, both nationally and locally, is funded by donations collected door-to-door. This year, the annual cancer crusade in Rappahannock County fell embarassingly short of its goal. We still must raise an additional $300 to meet what has been determined as our fair share.
In a sense, we’re the infantry, the foot soldiers who carry the burdens but reap little of the glory in any campaign. But, with a donation to the Cancer Society, we share in the credit along with the doctors and researchers for any victories won in the cancer wars.
There’s still time for Rappahannock residents to contribute before the crusade closes on August 31. Those who haven’t given this year are urged to make a donation. Inflation has pinched everyone’s budget but even a dollar will help.
Contributions to the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society may be mailed to crusade co-chairmen Dot Mank, RFD 1, Box 108-A, or Pauline Bruce, P.O. Box 26, both in Washington or to Society president Karen Tornedan in Flint Hill.
It’s a war we must fight for a better chance at survival.
