Knock Out Sarcoma

Dear Knock Out Sarcoma Participants and Supporters,

Thanks so much to everyone who showed up and joined us in person for the Van Cortlandt Park run and thanks, as well, to all of our virtual participants who helped us expand our event across the region and even to other cities!

We would like to send a special thanks to our 2021 sponsors, old and new - and look forward to having their ongoing support for this year's 5th annual event!!

Thanks to all of you we were able to exceed prior fundraising results! These monies, which are so essential for novel and exploratory research projects, have culminated in NIH grant support! They will hopefully yield better solutions and treatments for sarcoma patients both here at Montefiore and beyond. Please keep us in mind for 2022 - we look forward to having everyone back for an even grander and more impactful event!


Sincerely,

David S. Geller, MD


Sarcomas are rare and your support can make a big difference! Join in the fight and help support our efforts!


Sarcomas are a rare form of cancer, affecting patients of all ages. Many of these sarcomas arise in otherwise healthy children and young adults and inflict a tremendous toll on both the patient and their family. The Division of Orthopedic Oncology at Montefiore Medical Center is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with both soft-tissue and bone sarcomas. In addition, our laboratory seeks to better understand how these tumors arise and in turn, how to better treat them.
