We are running for someone very special — Noleen Lovell.

In December 2019, Noleen was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Since then, she has faced multiple surgeries and countless challenges, but through it all she has remained hopeful, strong, and grateful. Thanks to the dedicated work of her doctors and advances in treatment, her life has been extended in ways that once seemed impossible.

Noleen’s story is not only one of resilience, but also a reminder of how vital research and awareness are in the fight against rare cancers like Sarcoma. With limited treatment options, progress only comes when we come together to support organizations that are pushing for better outcomes and new hope for patients.

Despite everything, Noleen continues to inspire with her positivity and determination. She wants her journey to shine a light on the need for more funding, more research, and more awareness — so that others facing Sarcoma have a fighting chance.

By donating to Race to Cure Sarcoma, you’re not just supporting Noleen. You’re helping thousands of families who are impacted by Sarcoma and fueling the research that saves lives.
