Together, we can make a difference.
In October of 2013, Amy Reed, a physician and mother of six underwent surgery for what her doctors believed were uterine fibroids. Eight days later she received a call no one ever wants to get. "The pathology came back—you have cancer." Amy was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma just a year after the birth of her youngest child. This cancer, which can masquerade as a fibroid, is aggressive, and often resistant to common cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
Since 2014, Slay Sarcoma and the Slay Sarcoma Research Initiative (SSRI) have held yearly 5K Run/Walk events to raise awareness and funding for LMS research. Year to date, over $485,625.00 has been distributed to research organizations.
