It is with heavy hearts that we remember and honor George, who passed away on July 1, 2023 after a courageous battle with leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. George was not only a husband and father but also a friend and mentor to many in the community. We will run this race in memory of him and the many others that were lost to sarcomas before him in hopes that others may one day be spared the same fate.

The Race to Cure Sarcoma events have helped the Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA) to invest 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.
