Success Over Sarcoma 2008

As mentioned in the video, I am participating in the 2008 Team Sarcoma Bike Tour in Germany/Austria (Danube River). I did this ride last year in Vermont and it motivated me to do more rides to raise awareness of sarcoma. My mother died from this form of cancer in October 12, 2006 at the age of 52. Since then I've been on a crusade to pass on awareness of sarcoma to others. My second goal is raise money for sarcoma research, this year I hope to raise $6500.

Melissa, What a wonderful video. I was diagnosed with a pelvic leiomyosarcoma a year ago. After surgery, radiation, and chemo, I am currently NED (no evidence of disease). I hope to meet you in Germany this summer as I, too, plan to raise funds and ride in Team Sarcoma 2008. Alan

Hey Alan, me and my boyfriend booked our tickets yesterday! We're excited about Germany/Austria and meeting you all!

Ah crap I meant to give your comment a thumbs up but I guess I have bad aim. SORRY!

[californiagrant]

You are Awesome Melissa. an inspiration. I got to get my fundraising ideas/videos in order and catch up with you. have you seen google current tv? maybe we can team up and make a viral video for that? get sarcoma on to a major cable youth network. . .

either way, thanks for posting this, and I hope to meet you some day so I can thank you in person with a big hug. keep up the good work.

Haven't heard of GOOGLE CURRENT TV (I did check it out). If you want to hash out a video that sounds like a good idea to me--are you still in the states?

[greendrakkoman]

My daughter passed away with Ewing Sarcoma Feb. 7, 2009. Her name was Brandy Lynette Reid and was treated at the Children's Hospital in Birmingham, AL from Sept. 2007 - Feb. 7, 2009. I do think that this type of cancer needs to be study more. R.I.P. Brandy, mom loves you!

Thank you for what you have decided to do in memory of your mother.I am sure that she is very proud of your path and vision as she looks from heaven in guidance in your efforts.My 12 yo son has just been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma and we will begin the fight April 24th 2008.I have began to get myself informed in the fight to gain awareness of this horrible disease. Keep up the great work and know that this disease has gained more enemies in the fight to defeat it.

I am a 46 year old single mom of a beautiful 16 year old daughter & a 1 year survivor of synovial sarcoma. People say I'm their hero because of everything I've been through. I kept an upbeat & positive attitude while I went through heavy chemo & radiation, having my leg amputated & learning how to walk & do things with a prosthetic leg. I say YOU are the real "HERO" for your dedication & awareness to the research of sarcoma.

Thank you my hero & God bless you.
