Hi, I’m Manita! I was diagnosed November 2024 with synovial sarcoma. I finished my treatments in July 2025. I’m just starting to get my strength back and this race is the perfect goal for me! I hope to meet others in our sarcoma community. 

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. Your investment in the RTCS events, is an investment in saving lives.
