Success Over Sarcoma 2008

As mentioned in the video, I am participating in the 2008 Team Sarcoma Bike Tour in Germany/Austria (Danube River). I did this ride last year in Vermont and it motivated me to do more rides to raise awareness of sarcoma. My mother died from this form of cancer in October 12, 2006 at the age of 52. Since then I've been on a crusade to pass on awareness of sarcoma to others. My second goal is raise money for sarcoma research, this year I hope to raise $6500.If you are interested in sponsoring me you can do it now online. To go http://... for more information.

Thank you for what you have decided to do in memory of your mother.I am sure that she is very proud of your path and vision as she looks from heaven in guidance in your efforts.My 12 yo son has just been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma and we will begin the fight April 24th 2008.I have began to get myself informed in the fight to gain awareness of this horrible disease. Keep up the great work and know that this disease has gained more enemies in the fight to defeat it.

Melissa, What a wonderful video. I was diagnosed with a pelvic leiomyosarcoma a year ago. After surgery, radiation, and chemo, I am currently NED (no evidence of disease). I hope to meet you in Germany this summer as I, too, plan to raise funds and ride in Team Sarcoma 2008. Alan

I am a 46 year old single mom of a beautiful 16 year old daughter&a 1 year survivor of synovial sarcoma. People say I'm their hero because of everything I've been through. I kept an upbeat&positive attitude while I went through heavy chemo&radiation, having my leg amputated&learning how to walk&do things with a prosthetic leg. I say YOU are the real "HERO" for your dedication&awareness to the research of sarcoma.Thank you my hero&God bless you.

Melissa, You are a inspiration to humanity. I know that although I never met your dear Mother, your Father is a dear friend. He beams with joy over your dedication to finding a cure in honor of your Mother. Your Mother is very proud of your efforts and will watch over you on your exciting trip. I Wish you a Safe trip and Good Luck on your fund raising efforts! Always, Melody Sparks

Thank you so much for your dedication to Sarcoma research. I am a chondrosarcoma survivor of 15 years and 7 years. I am now 52 years old. May God bless you and wrap you in his arms.
