Thanks to the Race to Cure Sarcoma events, SFA has funded 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.
In January of 2026, my uncle, Adam (ND Class of 2005) was diagnosed with Myxofibrosarcoma / Spindle Cell sarcoma, which is a soft tissue sarcoma and part of a group of undifferentiated sarcomas. Sarcoma makes up only 1% of cancers in the US, and of course his subtype is considered "ultra-rare". We joke with him that he always has to be the best/top percent and now he's doing it again but with cancer.
Auntie Tay spent the last four months learning everything she can about undifferentiated sarcomas, and what is clear to her is that the research and the support for these cancers is incredibly YOUNG. Did you know the oldest sarcoma foundation in the US is only 30 years old?! Auntie Tay is older than sarcoma support! That is crazy to us - so we are here to help change the face of sarcoma research by fundraising to support SFA!
Please join our team and wear your YELLOW while you complete a 5k between now and July 18, 2026. Take a video or picture of your "race" and post it with a link to our fundraiser to help spread the word and find a cure for Sarcoma!
