The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative undertakes activities that help improve the quality of life for people dealing with sarcoma. Central to this mission are our goals of increasing public awareness of sarcoma and raising funds for sarcoma-related research and clinical trials. We believe that increased public awareness of sarcoma will lead to increased research and clinical trial funding and that research will ultimately lead to a cure for sarcoma. The articles in our Electronic Sarcoma Update Newsletter as well as other information on our website empower cancer patients, their caregivers and their loved ones by helping them understand and discuss their disease and potential treatment options with their medical team and it also aids them in dealing with their disease. The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative helps fund research that is targeted at finding a cure for sarcoma and research that is attempting to develop more effective treatment regimens than those currently available. We also support organizations that provide programs to directly aid and help sarcoma patients. Our logo represents patients, their caregivers and loved ones, and the medical team working together to improve the quality of life for those who have sarcoma. The breaks in the links and in-between them are meant to remind us of the difficulties that often occur in communicating with each other. The Forget-Me-Not touches each link and represents the many people who have touched the lives of the patients, the caregivers, and the physicians in their journeys with sarcoma. The background consists of the small round blue cells that identify Ewing’s sarcoma, which is the sarcoma Liddy had. We encourage you to read about her story of courage and hope by clicking on the Liddy’s Story button on the left.
