2019 ASCO Highlights

What a solid trip to Chicago for the Annual ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) meeting. We covered a lot of bases! Played Where's Waldo with our logo around the convention center (NICE!), got to meet our 2019 Conquer Cancer Foundation Young Investigator, Michael Kinnaman (now you're stuck with us!) who's at Memorial Sloan Kettering and being mentored by pal, Paul Meyers, took meetings and obligatory photos with our friends and brains pushing provocative research, and spent some quality time checking in with everyone. Every year, we look forward to our check-ins and discoveries with our Sarcoma community. We couldn't be more grateful for these folks. Michael sent QuadW a letter after our introduction at ASCO, and his words are the best reminder of why we can't and won't stop! WELCOME TO OUR WILD & KOOKY KREW! We love all of you!

Visiting UT Campus and our scholarship recipients

QuadW made a pit stop at UT Campus to meet with the Plan II Director, Alexandra K. Wettlaufer AND we got to visit with two of our scholarship recipients, Sarah Grant and Daisy Johnston! We learned that Daisy studied abroad in Denmark and plans to take her studies to Edinburgh next! Sarah is headed off to Italy this summer! And is Etrieu a college student again? She blends right in. HOOK EM! 🤘🏽

2018 ASCO was a huge success!

Did you ASCO? Well, we had a successful trip to Chicago lol'ing and getting down to business with some of our favorite folks and we're giddy to share! We kicked off the trip at the SARC (The Sarcoma Alliance For Research Through Collaboration) meeting that primarily focused on OSTEOSARCOMA (double tap that), where Mac and our buddy Lee Helman, who traveled from Los Angeles' Childrens Hospital were recognized. We hugged Dr. Bob Benjamin and Rich Gorlick of Houston's MD Anderson, where Willie used to do his treatments. We caught up with our University of Michigan pal, Beth Lawlor, visited with our Young Investigators old and new, Yvonne Mowery of Duke University, MD Anderson Andy Livingston, and Steve Dubois of Dana Farber at the poster session, AND we met our newest YIA addition, Adam Durbin, also at Dana Farber, at the Conquer Cancer Foundation's donor lounge. oh AND ALSO caught up with Bill Tap of Memorial Sloan Kettering at the Albert, and broke bread with Brian Crompton who traveled from Boston's Dana Farber at dinner. Are you winded from all the excitement? Chicago and wind...WE ARE!
