1. Robert Mock
Robert Mock worked in the Healthcare Industry for 30 years, 27 of those years were with GlaxoSmithKline. While he was working in the Vaccine Division he became keenly aware of the HPV Virus. In June of 2012, he was diagnosed with late stage Throat Cancer due to the HPV Virus and today he is very happy and proud to say that he is a survivor. His two year battle made him realize just how precious life, family and friends are to me. His life has been so negatively impacted by oropharyngeal cancer, that he now feels compelled to share his experience and elevate the awareness of this life threatening virus and how we can prevent it. Over the past year he has spoken to more than 100 parents about HPV and it has been very obvious to him that most have very little knowledge or understanding of the impact this virus can have on themselves and their children. Therefore, his personal experience and healthcare industry background have influenced him to utilize his skill set to educate both parents and adolescents about HPV.
