21.01.2022 Odd Socks Football Round in WA is on the weekend of September 11-13 to raise awareness of sarcoma and its symptoms. Sarcoma is one of the most common forms of cancer to occur in young people. Get all odd lumps, bumps, aches or pains checked by a GP - the earlier the better. It may save your life. All players in Auskick, Juniors, Seniors and WAFL are encouraged to wear one club sock and one odd sock during their game.

18.01.2022 Thursday thought

18.01.2022 On R U OK day, please spare the time to check in with anyone who you think may need it. Just that moment to touch base could make a whole heap of difference

18.01.2022 Just one of some incredible stories to come out of the Lets talk about Sarcoma podcasts during this month. Thank you to all of the guests for sharing their personal stories with such honesty and openness.

18.01.2022 To wrap up sarcoma awareness month, we are very pleased to advise that episodes 3 (parts 1,2&3) highlighting families of survivors and also those who have lost family members to sarcoma and Episode 4, featuring clinicians and researchers are now available from your usual podcast source. A massive thanks to Cath Mahoney; Michael Wippa Wipfli; Tania Rice-Brading, co-founder of the Cooper Rice-Brading Foundation and producer Darcy Milne for everything they have contributed to making this such an wonderful and positive collaboration.

17.01.2022 Anything that can help young people diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma can only be a good thing!

17.01.2022 28.7.1991 - 24.8.2011 We remember not the number of years in your life, but the amount of life in your years.

15.01.2022 Today we would like to celebrate with friends and family the life of Tony Cooper, a man with an infectious laugh and glowing smile. Thank you so much for your generosity in requesting donations in memory of Tony to Sock it to Sarcoma! so that we can help others who receive a sarcoma diagnosis.

15.01.2022 29 candles on a cake. 9 of those candles will never be blown out. Loving you always, Abbie, on your birthday and every other day

14.01.2022 Such an quick thing to do but what a difference it could make to someone. Please consider becoming a tissue or organ donor.

13.01.2022 This is so awesome! This year, for the first time, ALL Football Clubs are invited to join in the ever-growing Sarcoma Awareness Round. We thank everyone involved and please share the message - get any unexplained lumps, bumps, aches or pains checked out by a GP - it is most likely nothing sinister but if it turns out to be a sarcoma, speedy referral to a sarcoma specialist team is the best pathway to a better outcome.

13.01.2022 Congratulations Kylie and your team mates! Well deserved recognition!!
