 Your Images Needed The closing ceremony at this year's "Party in the Park" promises to be moving, uplifting, and memorable. As luminaries light the darkness and music fills the air, we will honor sarcoma patients, survivors and those lost to sarcoma. We ask you to send us pictures of all who have had sarcoma, so we can honor or remember them as their names are read.
In addition we will have a time to remember those who have died from sarcoma cancers during the last year. If you would like your loved one to be included in this time of remembrance, please send us their name and a few images.
To submit pictures of those who have had sarcoma, please attach jpegs to an email, indicating who the person is, by clicking here. If this link does not work, please use email to wyckoffris@yahoo.com. |
