The Cynthia Solomon Holmes Foundation
Hope for a Cure of LeioMyoSarcoma Cancer
The Cynthia Solomon Holmes Foundation organizes and hosts several events throughout the year in an effort to raise awareness and tangible support to benefit LeioMyoSarcoma patients and research. Please consider supporting our cause.
Sarcoma Awareness Month
Sarcoma is a cancer of connective tissues, such as nerves, muscles,
joints, fat and bones. It can arise anywhere in the body at any age,
from newborns on up. Although rare in adults, this cancer represents 15
percent of all childhood cancer cases. Each day during the month of July each year, we make a dedicated effort to educate the public about Sarcoma Cancers. The sharing of personal stories and information, we hope to designate July as Sarcoma Awareness Month nationally.
Butterfly Birthday Brunch
The Butterfly Birthday Brunch is an intimate celebration of Cynthia's life.
Each attendee is someone who has been touched by the legacy of Cynthia's
life or have been impacted by her in some way. Cynthia was a loving woman, who adored her family, loved her church and was, by far, one of the best cooks this side of Mississippi. We spend this time sharing our memories of her.
5K Run/Walk for the Cure
The 2018 5K Run/Walk for the Cure was held at
Tom Bass Park on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at 8:30am. In keeping with
our refreshing theme, runners and walkers demonstrated their support
of our ‘walk for the cure’ around the beautiful lake, nicely settled in
the middle of the park. Musical entertainment filled the ears of
participants as they made their way around the lake and delectable
refreshments awaited them as they completed their third mile. This
kid-friendly environment is refreshing for all ages.
Fall Fish Fry
Each year, the Fall Fish Fry brings together people of all walks of life for not only raising awareness about LeioMyoSarcoma Cancer, but to enjoy a fantastically prepared pesce dinner!
Cocktails for a Cure
The Cocktails for the Cure is the kickoff event for the 5K Walk/Run for the Cure. Location details coming soon.
Rare Disease Day
ACTION ALERT from Sarcoma Foundation of America: Accelerated Approval for Rare Diseases - Call Congress Today!
In 2012, Congress passed The Food and Drug Administration Safety and
Innovation Act (FDASIA). The final version of this bill included rare
disease provisions thanks in large part to the efforts of patient
advocates like you! We once again need your help to ensure that the
requirements of this bill are implemented.

Want to Partner With Us?
Without more people to raise awareness and donate money for research, LMS will remain an unheard of cancer, with the only people who know it being the people who die from it, or the ones who cared for someone who did.
Thank you for your consideration and support of The Cynthia Solomon Holmes Foundation and our quest to find better treatment options and a cure. We will keep etched in our hearts, the memories of all those we have lost and those we will lose to this cancer.
