Sarcomas are rare cancers, with around 18,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. and approximately 229,000 Americans currently living with the condition. Key risk factors include being younger than 40, as about half of sarcoma cases occur in this age group, often linked to growth spurts, and a family history of rare cancer syndromes.

His Story
This Journey began in March 2024 when Torrances fiancé discovered an unknown growing mass located on the side of his neck, she advised him to visit the doctors. Unsure what this could be the doctors assumed it was an ear infection and ran plenty of test and imaging that took weeks to come back leaving Torrance in a state of fear of the unknown.
“Sometimes the person who’s been there for everyone needs someone to be there for them”
