Leiomyosarcoma Direct Research Foundation

THE FOUNDER'S PAGE

I am proud to introduce LMSarcoma Direct Research Foundation. This Foundation has been created to help find the cure for Leiomyosarcoma!!! Our work towards this goal will focus on two primary objectives.

The first is to maintain up to date and accurate information for our LMS patient group which they might share with their physicians, including treatments and clinical trials. It is our desire to help keep LMS patients alive and healthy until the cure for LMS is found. We have set out portions of this website for the purpose of providing useful information that can be utilized by LMS patients.

The second major objective of this Foundation is to advocate for new research and developments to help cure Leiomyosarcoma. The people of LMSdr will work directly with researchers and other medical personnel to move LMS into the forefront of research. LMSdr advocates will be attending the yearly meetings of ASCO and CTOS, as well as numerous other medical gatherings. Further, LMSdr advocates will maintain working relationships with pharmaceutical companies and researchers who indicate an interest in helping us move forward in our search for the cure of this disease. The foundation will provide needed patient information and will award grants to assist researchers in their work on LMS.

The success of this Foundation however depends upon all LMS patients and those who love and care about LMS patients. Together we can change our own lives and make a difference in the future of LMS research. With your support LMSdr can expand its advocacy for LMS clinical research and continue its efforts to dramatically improve the expertise and knowledge of both patients and researchers alike.

Please consider looking under the menu bar titled How to Help.

Gratefully yours,
