On Jan. 5, members of the Oxford High School robotics team, Team 2137 TORC, collected 254 pairs of shoes, boots and slippers to aid a 20-year-old battling a rare form of cancer.  The footwear was collected and donated to Victoria Patrico, a patient with thymoma cancer, who is hoping to collect 5,000 pairs of shoes by Jan. 18. The shoes, which will be sent to a Third World country, will help Victoria raise funds for radiation therapy.
