In July of 2023 I found a lump behind my knee, after talking to specialist in Toledo I was then referred to Cleveland clinic. Then In January of 2024, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer called Synovial Sarcoma. Hearing the word "cancer" changed everything. Over the last year, I’ve been through chemotherapy, radiation, and a 13-hour surgery at Cleveland Clinic to remove a tumor from behind my knee. I’m grateful to be here today—but the journey isn’t over.
I’m virtually fundraising for Race to Cure Sarcoma with the people I love—Team Fo’ the Cure—to raise awareness, fund critical research, and stand with others facing this fight. Thank you for “walking” with us. Your support means more than words can say.
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.
