Help us raise money

For participating in 10TH ANNUAL STEPS TO CURE SARCOMA

Our story…

Ava started having leg pain in May 2023. By late June, we heard the words that no parent ever wants to hear…“Your child has cancer.” She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma which is a rare bone cancer that affects about 400 children anually. After 9 months of chemotherapy and a partial amputation of her leg, we are walking and running together to raise funds for osteosarcoma research. Thank you for your love and support!
