Introduction to the Rein in Sarcoma Foundation
Rein in Sarcoma was created by Karen Wyckoff in 2001. Karen died from Synovial Sarcoma a month after the first Rein in Sarcoma event. For the last seven years, thousands of people touched by sarcoma have kept her vision of a world without sarcoma cancers alive.
The Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Foundation (KWRISF) was incorporated in 2004 as a Minnesota non-profit organization to continue the mission that Karen established:
- Find a cure for sarcoma cancers (raise funds for research through the University of Minnesota Masonic Cancer Center)
- Educate physicians and public about sarcomas
- Support sarcoma survivors and families directly affected by sarcoma
KWRISF has become the largest and best-known sarcoma fund for the Upper Midwest. Over the past seven years, with its three pronged commitment to sarcoma research, support and education, the Foundation, totally run by volunteers, has reached thousands of people and raised over $650,000.
Sarcoma Cancers:
Sarcomas are highly malignant and rare types of cancers that occur in the connective tissues of the body. Approximately 9,800 new cases of soft tissue and bone sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the United States. While rare among adults (less than 2% of all adult cancers), sarcoma cancers are among the three most commonly diagnosed cancers affecting children. A sarcoma diagnosis is a particularly shattering for most patients as they rarely have heard of this type of cancer and feel they will have to wage their personal war against the disease without much public knowledge of the disorder.
