Sarcoma is a cancer of connective tissues, such as nerves, muscles, joints, bone or blood vessels. It can affect any person of any age and can arise anywhere in the body. Between 15-20% of children and 1% of adult cancers are sarcomas. Overall hundreds of thousands of people are affected directly or indirectly by this terrible disease.
We held a similar event for the last two years and thanks to all you runners/walkers and donors, it was a big success. We hope to make this event even bigger than last time. Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your friends and colleagues.
Thanks,
Team Sarcoma / North Carolina
