Sock it to Sarcoma! is a health promotion charity based in Western Australia. First set up in 2012, it was the vision of young Perth woman Abbie Basson following her own diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare primary cancer of bone and soft tissue. She found that sarcoma was vastly under-funded in research funding for new and less toxic treatments, overall survival was lower than for common cancers particularly for children, adolescents and young adults and she set out to change this. Initially set up in partnership with Hollywood Private Hospital Research Foundation, it set up as an independent charity at the end of 2015. The Foundation supports medical research into sarcoma, working with local medical research institutions and universities via PhD top-up scholarships and project grants; promotes education and awareness in the community and medical profession about sarcoma and advocates for and provides holistic support to people diagnosed with sarcoma and their families.
