The 2010 International Sarcoma Awareness Week is July 17-25. Locally, a group headed by Lancaster resident Brenda Lee Boitson is proud to present the first annual Central PA Team Sarcoma event, to be held in East Petersburg, Pennsylvania at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday July 17th, 2010.  The Central PA event will honor the late Kevin Edward Boitson, who passed from a rare Angiosarcoma tumor on October 28, 2008.

“Keepin’ it Kevin”: KIK Sarcoma Team Sarcoma Bike, Walk and Run will be hosted at the East Petersburg Community Park Grounds to raise awareness and funds for the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative; this organization helps fund and support Sarcoma cancer research and assists families affected by Sarcoma cancer. The bike, walk and run will feature two courses: One will be a shorter course for walkers and runners, as well as those with small children and disabilities, on a paved trail. The longer course will be on the roads of East Petersburg with traffic assistance from the Manheim Township Police Department and event volunteers.  Hope to see you out there!
More info can be found at the event website, www.keepinitkevin.info. Please contact the organizing team at TeamSarcomaPA@gmail.com or call 717-682-0365 with any questions or if interested in becoming a sponsor or volunteer.
