Sarcoma Awareness Month
Sarcoma Awareness Month was observed in June and July until the International Sarcoma Patient Advocate Network made July 2008 the first official Sarcoma Awareness Month. Since then, advocacy groups have lobbied for legislation recognizing both the month and July 15 as National Leimyosarcoma Day. No such legislation has passed beyond the Senate, but that doesn’t stop organizations such as the Sarcoma Foundation of America and the National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation from educating people about these cancers.
