 After a 9 year hiatus, I am pleased to announce that the Rhabdo Warriors are back at it for the 2024 Salt Lake CureSearch Walk. I am excited to slowly get back into the community, in ways that make sense for me. While volunteering for other CureSearch programs didn't work out, I am excited for the walk and for making my team. I've even roped in a friend! If you would like to donate to my walk profile, click here . Any donation is helpful! Together, we can end childhood cancer.

 July is Sarcoma and Bone Cncer Awareness Month. Sarcomas account for cancers in a variety of locations and tissues, and are divided into two categories: sarcomas in the bone and sarcomas in soft tissues. From the Sarcoma Alliance : "Sarcomas are cancers that develop from bones or soft tissues, such as fat, muscles, nerves, and more. Because bone and soft tissues can be found nearly everywhere in the body, a sarcoma can start in any part of the body." Sarcomas can originate anywhere in the body, with 60% beginning in limbs, 30% in the abdomen, and only 10% in the head or neck. Sarcomas are rare in adults, accounting for 1% of cancers, but are the cause of 15% of childhood cancers. There are also ways to get involved!
