'S' is for Sarcoma Challenge

Do Your 'S' for SARCOMA

Between July 18 & 26, 2008 the core Team Sarcoma group is cycling from Cumberland, Maryland along the C&O Canal Towpath to Washington, DC.. People from all over the world have Team Sarcoma events in their own communities during the same time period, with the common purpose of increasing awareness about sarcoma and supporting research and innovation in dealing with sarcoma.
