#CureLMS
The official launch of hashtag CureLMS was launched in 2015 to increase public awareness of Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) Cancer. Our goal was to keep this hashtag alive as we continue to strive daily at determining how we can better treat this disease and ultimately cure it. We fervently feel we will see that day! Join is in the surge of solidarity in spreading the word globally. #CureLMS
Our Events
Rare Disease Day
Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease.

Though Rare Disease Day is patient-led, everyone can participate in raising awareness and taking action today for this vulnerable population who require immediate and urgent attention.
Sarcoma Awareness Month
July is designated as Sarcoma Awareness Month. Sarcoma diagnoses occur every day, and you can raise awareness anytime! There are many people who are unfamiliar with LMS or The Cynthia Solomon Holmes Foundation. By educating yourself and others, engaging in different activities, and raising awareness, you not only support those affected by LMS, but are delivering information that has the potential to greatly impact lives.
National Leiomyosarcoma Awareness Day
Initially established through the National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation, a Congressional approval was provided in 2016 to designate July 15th as National Leiomyosarcoma Awareness Day.
5K Walk for the Cure
The annual Walk for the Cure of LMS Cancer brings the community together to increase awareness of Leiomyosarcoma Cancer and walk on behalf of and in honor of LMS patients.
