Wendy Walk is a not for profit organization whose mission is to raise funds and awareness for sarcoma, a cancer of the connective tissues such as nerves, muscles and bones that is currently untreatable. The foundation hosts annual walks in Miami, New York City and Los Angeles as its main fundraising event. Through these walk the foundation has raised over 3.4 million dollars for sarcoma research. Sarcoma is an “orphan” cancer, therefore it depends solely on new research. Incredible progress has been made, largely in part to the work of WENDY WALK and its partner organizations; however, much more remains to be done to find a cure, for all who are afflicted with this disease.
