Travel Assistance
While there are many excellent sarcoma resources in the upper midwest, some may have the need to seek assistance at other major sarcoma centers around the country. The resources below provide low cost and sometimes no-coast travel assistance to these centers. In addition some of our allied organizations provide low-cost or no-cast accomodations for sarcoma patients and family members. To learn about these housing resources go to the cancer organizations section of this website.
