Please help us get House Resolution 78 (H. Res. 78) passed! Jeff Butler Sarcoma Foundation is teaming up with Florida Congresswoman Kathy Castor to express support for the designation of July as Sarcoma Awareness Month! Sarcoma is a very rare type of cancer that represents only one percent of the 1.5 million new cancer diagnoses in the US each year. We need your help to promote awareness of Sarcoma, as early detection is very critical to a positive outcome. Please sign our petition and feel free to share this with your friends & family!

I have been reading the stories some of you left in the comments and it breaks my heart to see how many families have been touched by this rare cancer. We are working quietly behind the scenes to keep the momentum going with Congresswoman Castor so that no one feels they are fighting this diagnosis alone.

Seeing this momentum grow brings me back to the days after Jeff was first diagnosed and felt so isolated in his struggle. Knowing so many people are turning their attention toward this rare disease provides real hope for families who need it most.
