T-Shirt Presentations

Since Dr Weber & Dr Frassica were/are MAJOR players in my cancer journey, I thought it only appropriate to make them official members of THE TEAM!

I met Paul Cohen at the first Sarcoma Event planning meeting.  He too had a sarcoma in his leg.  Unfortunately, he lost his leg.  However, he gets around very well on his prosthesis.  I ‘admire’ his beautiful leg!  He will soon be a “demo dummy” (as he puts it) for kids trying to make a prosthesis like his with LEGO’s.  I can’t wait to hear the stories surrounding this adventure!

Luca finishing the walk!

Luca (who is just 3) has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma. He just finished treatment 3 months ago. I met him last year at my first Sarcoma event when he was getting ready to start radiation. Luca’s Mom, Lucia, left a major impression on me. We discussed radiation treatment & how it would for him. I was Happy to fill her in on radiation realities.  For more information on Luca, go to www.loveforluca.org.

Sarcoma Knows No Borders

Sarcoma Knows No BordersThousands of people around the world wear these bracelets as a sign of support and solidarity. The background color of the bracelet is a swirl of a pathology slide of a sarcoma patient. The bracelet is reversible. “Sarcoma Knows No Borders” is printed on one side, and the word “sarcoma” is printed in 13 languages on the other side.

The significance of “Sarcoma Knows No Borders” is described by the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative:

  1. Sarcoma can affect anyone in the world; it knows no national borders.
  2. Sarcoma can arise anywhere in the body: it knows no borders within the body.
  3. Sarcoma affects people of every age and gender: it knows no borders within groups of people.
