Suzanne Leider founded the Sarcoma Alliance in 1999 in the living room of her home with the mantra “guidance, education, and support” in her head. She realized the great void that the sarcoma patient falls into after finally meeting her first sarcoma survivor (Wendy Sommers) after 4 years. Suzanne decided 4 years was too long to wait to meet a fellow survivor and decided to do something about it. With the help of friends, family and volunteers, The Sarcoma Alliance was born. We are a nonprofit 501C(3) organization.
As a nurse, Suzanne’s focus was on the care of the individual and quality of life. Her dream was for people with sarcoma to have the tools to fight this disease on a physical, mental, and psychological level. As a patient and a healthcare provider, she understood the difficulties of navigating our healthcare system. By creating a gathering place for those touched by sarcoma, the isolation of this diagnosis is diminished. The Sarcoma Alliance has created a community which can no longer be ignored.
Sarcoma does not discriminate by age, gender, or race. As a rare diagnosis, this is a community who has special needs and requires special attention. Survival depends upon it. The Sarcoma Alliance is working to address the needs of this special community and to get you the necessary resources and attention you deserve.- Show Date
