We all know the usual (and important!) reasons we raise money - to fund the necessary research to find cures for all  these horrible diseases. 
But I’m raising money in honor of my very good friend Karen Alexander Pare who was always the first to step up to help, the first to donate or and the first to be there to hold your hand when you needed a friend.  And she was a true, real friend. We all should have a Karen in our lives and I count myself lucky to have known her.  But we miss her so very much. So during this event, we will walk (because seriously, who thought I would be running?!) as we remember this beautiful soul. 

Thanks to the Race to Cure Sarcoma events, 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 investment in the RTCS events, is an investment in saving lives.
