Steps to Cure Sarcoma

 

With spring in our steps and winter slowly (but certainly!) finding its way away from our area, I'm excited to form Chance for a Cure - my team for the upcoming event Steps to Cure Sarcoma.

I'm very excited this event is taking place for the 12th time, and that all proceeds go directly toward research for this specific kind of cancer.

The event takes place May 17, 2026. I'd love to be at the event itself, but in order to have more support around me that morning, I've elected to create a virtual walk team that anyone can join and by doing so - whether you walk with us in Bent Creek on that morning beginning at 10:30 a.m. (if inclement weather is intolerable you can always walk around your house instead) :) or you take a walk in your own neighborhood wherever you may be, you're joining forces with others to help make a difference. 

Every dollar raised counts and every step taken toward finding more chances to beat this matters.

As a reminder - 

Sarcomas are rare cancers of the bones and soft tissues including muscles, blood vessels, fat, nerves, tendons and other connective tissues. They affect approximately 12,000 people each year in the United States. Bone sarcomas are more common among children, and soft tissue sarcomas are more common in adults. Advanced imaging techniques are used to evaluate the tumor characteristics and accurately pinpoint their location. Image-guided biopsies are performed by musculoskeletal radiologists and the diagnoses determined by experienced musculoskeletal pathologists. Pet dogs develop spontaneous sarcomas that are similar to human sarcomas. The Veterinary and Medical schools work together to incorporate canine models into the Penn Sarcoma Program to accelerate understanding sarcoma pathogenesis and to bring effective therapies into the human and veterinary clinics.

 In advance, thank you for considering being part of the team and for always being patient with me as I ebb and flow with blogging. I will commit to you a new blog or two in the coming days!

Oh yeah. If you like being merchandised properly (and shopping) click here to purchase something to wear that day (and in all the years to come!) I did a google search and found some other great pieces for sale on various sites, such as Etsy too!

If you have any questions - text or email me, or my parents!
