Hello Family and Friends, You are invited to help me participate in the 2025 Strike Out for Sarcoma 5K walk/run taking place Sunday, September 14th in Cary, NC! This race is held annually to support Sarcoma Cancer research through the Duke Cancer Institute.

I joined Wanda's Warriors Team several years ago. Wanda Farrell, was diagnosed with stage IV Leiomyosarcoma cancer in May of 2009. Since then she has been through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries for tumor removal multiple times.  She began treatment again in April of 2024, and the fight for a cure continues. 

Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer, but it is not rare at Duke. Duke treats more than 2000 people actively living with sarcoma. All patients are presented at both a radiology tumor board and a sarcoma pathology tumor board, where management decisions are made through a consensus involving surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists.

Here's the big ASK! If you know me, you know that I don't prefer outside, heat or bugs! So, I need your help as I train to walk/run this race as I joined in the fight against sarcoma. Please consider cheering me on by supporting my efforts to raise funds for the Duke Sarcoma Center through the Strike Out For Sarcoma 5K by making a gift to my page today.
