| Please join the Sarcoma Alliance on August 26, 2007 in celebrating the 8th annual Ocean of Hope campaign (O2H). This is a day dedicated to the sea of people affected by cancer, and specifically those with sarcoma. It's a day filled with optimism and hope. It's a day where sarcoma patients, friends, families and their caregivers meet, share stories, and bond with supporters like you. It's a day when you know that "You are Not Alone." Team O2H is a group of paddleboarders who dedicate their race in the Catalina Classic to the Sarcoma Alliance. This dedication honors those with this rare and deadly form of cancer and assists them to find the guidance, education, and support that they need. This team of courageous men and women will be individually paddling 32 miles in the Pacific Ocean, spanning six to eight hours in the waters from Catalina Island to Manhattan Beach. On that day, many courageous patients with sarcoma will devote similar hours in treatment, preparing for surgery, or resting up for another week of radiation. Every year the Ocean of Hope paddlers travel across the unpredictable seas while navigating waves and unknown treachery. They are steadfast in their determination to reach the shore. Similarly, sarcoma patients navigate the unpredictable seas of diagnosis, treatments, and uncertainty. They are steadfast in their determination to reach the necessary medical providers, second opinions, and clinical trials. They are determined to beat this disease. Helping patients to reach their goals is also the dream of the Ocean of Hope. Please support the Ocean of Hope by donating generously to the Sarcoma Alliance. Your tax-deductible (EIN# 68-0443045) donation will help maintain our services including our bulletin board and discussion groups, the Peer to Peer network, support groups, and individualized client information packets. The services of the Sarcoma Alliance are free of charge and rely heavily on your generous contribution. Visit us at http://www.sarcomaalliance.org Come join us on the sunny shores of Manhattan Beach and meet the patients, families, caregivers, and paddlers who appreciate the efforts of Team O2H, the Sarcoma Alliance, and supporters like you!!! Raise $3000 for a paddleboard sponsorship and your loved one's name will be placed on the tail of a paddleboard and travel with that individual 32 miles across the Pacific Ocean. |
