Why do we have a Sarcoma Awareness Month? Well, that’s easy…sarcoma is still considered to be the “forgotten cancer.” Efforts to encourage research and drug development are made more challenging due to a lack of awareness and understanding. How as a community do we raise funds for vital research if people don’t know that this cancer exists?
Throughout Olivia’s journey, we worked tirelessly every day to try and raise awareness and share the good, the bad and the ugly of what Olivia faced each day. During Sarcoma Awareness Month we aim to further highlight the extraordinary challenges that sarcoma patients face and the need for more sarcoma research and better sarcoma therapies.
