Until June, 2021, I knew very little about sarcoma. Then that nagging growing pain in my husband, Dave's leg, that was originally thought to be hamstring tendonitis, turned out to be sarcoma. And I learned quickly about how rare this type of cancer is - 1% of adult cancers, over 100 subtypes.

If you knew Dave, you know how strong and determined he was. He loved to ride his bike and suffer up the grinding hills, even conquering the infamous 129 mile, 16,000 foot Death Ride in the eastern Sierras. He put that effort to fighting sarcoma, to continue to live, to be there for me and our two boys, Miles and Ben. But this cancer is a unrelenting beast.

So now we run in his honor. SFA has invested over $20 million in sarcoma research, funding over 200 grants in 12 countries leading to close to 200 total publications, adding to the sarcoma research discourse. This has led to $26 million+ in additional funding, 10+ clinical trials with 5 additional pending, and 2 patents. Your donation in Dave's honor, goes to saving the Dave's of tomorrow.  

Run with us and/or donate. Thank you for your support
