"Awareness breeds a sense of urgency, motivates groups of people toward a common goal, and puts resources into the hands of those who can make a difference. Raising awareness of the scourge of sarcoma is not simple. The disease is complex and multifaceted, and the toll it inflicts on its victims cannot be easily reduced to a sound bite. But through a combination of diligence, expertise and creativity, the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative has raised awareness worldwide regarding the challenges and opportunities facing caregivers, researchers and patients with sarcoma. By raising awareness of sarcoma as a disease, the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative has led the way in taking the essential first step toward eradicating this killer of young and old alike."
