Our Mission
The mission of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative is to improve the quality of life for people dealing with sarcoma. The Initiative increases global public awareness of sarcoma, raises funds to award research grants, and provides support and timely information to sarcoma patients, their families, and medical professionals. These efforts are achieved through collaboration with numerous individuals and organizations that share a similar vision.
Our Volunteers
All of our initiatives are accomplished by volunteers. Our distinguished Medical Advisory and Editorial Board contribute expert articles and content for our website. The members of our Sarcoma Advocacy Advisory Committee, who have been affected by sarcoma themselves, share their insights and assist us with our initiatives.
