When my child was diagnosed with ewings sarcoma at 9 years old I was appalled at the lack of research and funding for the children. My son is still fighting and I will continue to fight for more funding as well as more awareness of childhood cancer.

Please don't forget the very rare cancers.....like sarcoma. My sister is 46 years old with undifferenciated pleomorphic high grade soft tissue sarcoma. This rare cancer makes up less than 1% of all cancers. Maybe focusing on this rare type, will help other kinds of cancer!
