The "Our Initiatives" column provides an update on some of the ongoing projects of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative. In this issue:
The Team Sarcoma 2007 Initiative, which is an internationally coordinated set of events to raise awareness of sarcoma and raise funds for sarcoma research, is now underway. The 2007 Initiative will include "Sarcoma Update" lectures that will be given in various cities around the world in June 2007 and the Team Sarcoma 2007 Bike Tour which will be held in the Lake Champlain area in Vermont and New York during July 14-21, 2007. Think of the Team Sarcoma 2007 Bike Tour as an “International Bike, Run, Walk, and Swim for Sarcoma Awareness” week. The members of Team Sarcoma 2007 in Burlington will be joined by people who will cycle, run, walk, hike, or swim in the countries where they live on one or more of the days that the members of Team Sarcoma 2007 are cycling in Vermont. These people will form local “Team Sarcomas” in their home countries around the globe. If you are interested in joining us on the bike tour in Vermont or in forming a local Team Sarcoma, please contact us. In order to give the planners of local Team Sarcomas more flexibility in planning their activities, the official dates of “International Bike, Run, Walk, and Swim for Sarcoma Awareness” will be July 14-22, 2007.

The "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" Bracelet We have received such an incredible response to the "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" bracelets, that we thought we should mention them again. We have received requests from all over the world for them and have been told that the photo shown below does not do it justice.
The background color is a swirl of a pathology slide of a sarcoma patient. The bracelet is reversible. "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" is printed on one side and on the other side the word "sarcoma" is printed in 13 of the world's languages. We use the phrase "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" because sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body and they don't discriminate on age, gender, race or creed and they occur in countries all over the world. Each bracelet is individually packaged and comes with a brief "Sarcoma Facts" sheet. Our 8-year old granddaughter wears one as an ankle bracelet; she's quite the fashion plate. If you are interested in obtaining some of these bracelets, please send us a note by clicking here. You might also want to read about our "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" ribbon by clicking here.
Music CD, The Circle, Benefits Sarcoma Research Singer songwriter Ron Martin is a multi-instrumentalist from North Carolina. He is sharing the proceeds from the sale of his CD, The Circle, with the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative to help fund sarcoma awareness and research. The CD makes a very nice holiday, birthday, anniversary or graduation gift. Click here to find out more details.
