Sock it to Sarcoma! was the vision of Abbie Basson who was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma at the age of 17.
She was determined to make a difference for those diagnosed with sarcoma by:
-
Funding research into sarcoma, a rare and aggressive group of primary bone & soft tissue tumours
-
Driving community education and awareness around symptoms of sarcoma and early referral to the WA State Sarcoma Service.
-
Better understanding for sarcoma patients through community awareness.
-
Supporting gold standard holistic clinical care for sarcoma patients and their families.
Sock it to Sarcoma! has now invested over $1 million into sarcoma research, has a very active patient support program and education and community awareness activities.
In her words:
'It can't help me, but it can help someone else. What happeneed to me was for a reason - perhaps this was the reason?'
With your help, we can continue to make Abbie's vision a reality.
