Important Fundraising Information

Hello Beethovens and the rest of the orchestra -

Elise will be doing the Pacific Cup as BeatSarcoma's flagship boat. We love sailing but it isn't just about the race. It's about life, freedom and generosity. Take the helm and steer the sarcoma battleship toward a cure.

Sailing across an ocean is focusing on the very basic survival tasks: what do we need to do to sail on more mile (hopefully fast and hopefully in roughly the direction of Hawaii), survive one more day - out of this simplicity, pain and effort, we will grow. Fighting cancer is also focusing on survival - and is a source of personal growth.

As the wind whips spray and salt on your face, you feel very alive. The line that you use to trim the sail gives you a direct connection with the force of nature. Sailing your boat under any condition must be a very similar feeling to the one that physicians must experience as they cure any and all patients.

Elise is empowering us. Empower the physicians and free the patients. You can support our effort by donating online - or even become a fundraiser! Remember, we cover all the race expenses so every penny will go directly to sarcoma research.
