Our Initiatives

The "Our Initiatives" column provides an update on some of our ongoing projects.

The "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" Bracelet

We have received such an incredible response to the "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" bracelets, that we though we should mention them again. We have received requests from all over the world for them. We have been told that the photo shown below does not do it justice.

The background color is a swirl of a pathology slide of a sarcoma patient. The bracelet is reversible. "Sarcoma Knows No Borders" is printed on one side and on the other side the word "sarcoma" is printed in 13 of the world's languages. We use the phrase "Sarcoma knows no borders" because sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body and they don't discriminate on age, gender, race or creed and they occur in countries all over the world. Each bracelet is individually packaged and comes with a brief "Sarcoma Facts" sheet. Our 6-year old granddaughter wears one as an ankle bracelet; she's quite the fashion plate. If you are interested in obtaining some of these bracelets, please send us a note by clicking here.
