For participating in STEPS TO CURE SARCOMA

Our story…

As a family, we will be walking to support research on sarcoma on June 10, 2018. Sarcomas are a family of about 50 rare cancers. Treatment can be complicated because there are only 12,000 sarcoma cases of all types per year in the U.S., less than 1% of all cancer cases. You may know that Ankila had a sarcoma tumor in 2010. Advances in cancer treatment were combined with talented doctors and nurses were able to spare her leg. In the past, she might not have been so lucky. We need your help toward our family goal of $1,000! You'll help to improve treatment for future sarcoma patients. Even $10 or $5 will help!
