It had been four years after her own sarcoma diagnosis that she finally met another sarcoma survivor, Wendy Sommers, and she realized that sarcoma patients fall into a great void. Suzanne decided four 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. As a nurse, Suzanne focused 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 physical, emotional, and psychological levels. As a patient and a healthcare provider, she understood the difficulties of navigating our healthcare system. She knew that creating a gathering place for those touched by sarcoma would diminish the isolation of this diagnosis. Thanks to Suzanne, Wendy, and many others, the Alliance has brought vital resources and voice to thousands in the sarcoma community.
