Come out and raise awareness of Sarcoma!
What is Sarcoma? They are tumors that occur in the nerves, muscles and bones throughout the body. In children ages 10-20, Sarcoma makes up about 20-25% of cancer diagnoses. Our swim team chose Sarcoma because July is Sarcoma Awareness Month and our swim season runs primarily through the months of June and July.
