Steps for Sarcoma – Is an event to fundraise and bring awareness for Sarcoma. Sarcoma is a cancerous tumor found in the bone or connective tissue. Sarcoma is also the only cancer that affects both dogs and humans. We have a family member and friends that have been affected by this cancer, so this event holds a special place in our hearts!
