July 2023 Sarcoma Awareness Month
My recent post on possible skin cancer leads me onto SARCOMA AWARENESS MONTH – 1st July - 31st July 2023, #SarcomaAwareness Month.
Every year thousands of people are diagnosed with sarcomas, a type of cancer that forms in the connective tissues of the body including fat, blood vessels, nerves, etc. Sarcomas are a rare form of cancer, but no less deadly for their rarity. Research continues on what causes sarcoma and why certain people develop it, and Sarcoma Awareness Month was created to help raise awareness of this disease and all the people it effects.
Celebrating Sarcoma Awareness Month starts with education. With these forms of cancers being so rare most people don’t know a lot about them, so spend some time researching sarcomas in all their forms. Then move on to studying how one would recognize the symptoms of a sarcoma so you’ll know to check with a doctor if any of these signs pop up.
From that point forward it’s time to start looking to help those in your community who are already facing this disease by connecting with non-profits in your area. Working with these organizations will help spread information, raise awareness, and generate funds for research and other related charities. Get out there and do your part to help relieve the suffering of those who are facing a sarcoma diagnosis, Sarcoma Awareness Month is your perfect opportunity to do so, and then carry it through the rest of the year.
This July, we're asking YOU to help us Bake for a Breakthrough during #SarcomaAwarenessMonth! Whip up your best cakes, tray bakes and biscuits to help us reach our target of £25,000... enough to fund one of our Ideas Grants! These grants give our brightest researchers the opportunity to test new ideas and collect data that could go on to save lives.
Whether it's in the office, at school, in your community or with your family and friends, its the perfect excuse to get together and enjoy some tasty treats whilst raising life-saving funds for those affected by primary cancer.
