TEAM QUADW & FRIENDS @ CYCLE FOR SURVIVAL IN DALLAS!

We are still spinning our wheels after yesterdays Cycle for Survival ride in Dallas. We can proudly say that we exceeded our $100,000 mark and will be riding into this year's goal to support a Sarcoma fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

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!

QuadW at CTOS 2017 (Maui, HI)

Hello Friends!

The QuadW Foundation recently took a trip to the Connective Tissue Oncology Society annual meeting in Maui. We have returned with the most exciting news! Here's a montage of our trip (click to watch). While we're proud of the work we've done over the past 11 years as QuadW, if Willie were diagnosed today, he would likely have the same outcome. After many conversations within the foundation and amongst our friends in the field, it is with much pleasure to ANNOUNCE our love and support for the launch of the Osteosarcoma Institute. With much gratitude, we want to give a shout out to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation - MMRF for their supporting in helping us devise our strategy and operationalizing the institute.

Please take a peek at the website and show your support by liking the OSI facebook page.

Here's the press release:
