Our Initiatives The "Our Initiatives" column provides an update on some of the ongoing projects of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative. In this issue:
The 2007 Team Sarcoma Initiative has become "An International Sarcoma Awareness Week" The 2007 Team Sarcoma Initiative is an internationally coordinated set of events to raise awareness of sarcoma and raise funds for sarcoma research, clinical trials, and patient and family services. There are over 50 events taking place in 13 countries worldwide! 15 sarcoma centers/programs and 15 sarcoma advocacy groups are involved as well as over 20 events planned by patients, caregivers, survivors and those who have lost a loved one to sarcoma. It has indeed become an International Sarcoma Awareness Week, You and your family and friends are encouraged to participate in one or more of these events. Please check out the Team Sarcoma Initiative events webpage to locate an event near you. If there isn't one close enough, contact us to form one. It's never too late and every team, no matter how big or small, helps all of us.
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.
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.
