Few years ago, Patricia's life changed with one word: sarcoma.
Today, we celebrate something even more powerful survivorship.
Patricia’s journey was filled with challenges, uncertainty, and moments that tested her strength. But through every appointment, every treatment, and every obstacle, she met the fight with courage, faith, and an unwavering determination to keep moving forward.
Today, Patricia is a proud sarcoma SURVIVOR, and her journey reminds us that hope is stronger than fear and that every step forward is worth celebrating.
This year, Team Strength in Motion isn’t just walking because cancer exists we’re walking to celebrate a life that refused to let cancer define it. We’re walking because survivors like Patricia remind us why research, early detection, and support for families matter. Her story is proof that there is hope beyond a diagnosis and that every breakthrough brings us closer to a future with even more survivor stories.
As we gather once again, we invite you to walk beside us. Whether you make a donation, join our team, or simply share our fundraiser, you become part of a mission that extends far beyond race day. Together, we’re helping fund critical sarcoma research, supporting patients and families, and bringing hope to those who are still fighting.
Thank you for standing with Patricia, believing in this cause, and helping us make a difference one step at a time.
With love and gratitude,
Team Strength in Motion 💛
