On May 17th I will be walking 1 mile in Boston alongside my family for SFA’s Race to Cure Sarcoma.
In May 2023, I was diagnosed with Pecoma, an ultra rare sarcoma subtype. I have undergone 3 surgeries and various treatments including immunotherapy and chemotherapy. I am extremely grateful for my sarcoma team led by Dr.Andrew Wagner at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. With their compassion, guidance and care, I continue this fight.
Sarcoma remains one of the most under researched cancers relative to other more common types.
Thanks to the Race to Cure Sarcoma events, SFA has funded 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. Your investment in the RTCS events, is an investment in saving lives.
