Elise's Fundraising Page
Racing Toward A Cure
Welcome to Elise's fundraising page. Elise has signed up for the Sarcoma Cup to help raise funds for Sarcoma Research.
Welcome to my fundraising page. I will participate in the Sarcoma Cup 08, a new charity regatta on San Francisco Bay. Sarcoma is a nasty cancer that affects primarily children and young adults. Each school day, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer and 10 with some form of sarcoma. Cancer accounts for the greatest number of disease deaths of children in the United States and kills more children per year than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, asthma and AIDS combined. 20% of all childhood cancer cases are sarcomas. Nat, a local sailor, was diagnosed with sarcoma, at age 32, two years ago. It is a very little understood disease, hard to detect, hard to diagnose and hard to treat. Together we can change that. Researchers are at the beginning of the learning curve and every dollar will have a huge impact - and every donation counts, no matter how small or how large. BeatSarcoma is a 501(c)(3) charity so all direct donations are tax deductible.
