Team Sarcoma/Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC)

Dr. Margaret von Mehren, an oncologist at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, organized a Team Sarcoma/FCCC to be part of Team Sarcoma 2006. The team undertook a walk around the Fox Chase Cancer Center Campus. Dr. von Mehren wrote us the following note after the event, "Bruce, It was wonderful- a mixture of caregivers, support staff and patients. The head of the local leiomyosarcoma foundation chapter, who is not a patient here came as well. We had one patient traveling with her chemo infusion! I look forward to next year making it a bigger and better event!" We had an earlier message from Theresa Russell, also from Fox Chase, in which she said, "Everything was great on our end. We had around 25 - 30 people. Here are some photos taken during the event.
