Last year, I had the opportunity to share our story at the Sarcoma Foundation of America’s annual fundraising gala in New York City. It was a life changing experience to meet so many Sarcoma Survivors and to hear their journeys. More than anything, it reinforced for me how critical this annual Fundraiser is for patients and their families. With a donation to SFA, you are investing in saving lives and in helping more families like ours to live beyond cancer for years to come!! Please join us in this wonderful and necessary cause.

Thanks to the Race to Cure Sarcoma events, SFA has invested over $20 million in sarcoma research, funding over 200 grants in 12 countries leading to close to 200 total publications, adding to the sarcoma research discourse. This has led to $26 million+ in additional funding, 10+ clinical trials with 5 additional pending, and 2 patents.

Sarcoma is a grossly underfunded cancer and a diagnosis is not only life-threatening but oftentimes debilitating financially and personally, as patients are forced to choose between leaving family and friends behind in order to seek expert care or else to remain tethered to local treatment centers (which can lack the expertise necessary for successful treatment) in order to maintain their support systems.
