Australian Rules Football in Western Australia has played a massive role in creating awareness of sarcoma and its symptoms over the past few years. The tradition continues this year with players from Auskick all the way up to the West Coast Eagles donning the odd socks in an effort to shine a light on the importance of being aware of symptoms and finding a cure.
Sarcoma is one of the most common forms of cancer in young people – so it is particularly relevant for young sports people to be aware of any odd lumps, bumps, aches or pains anywhere in the body that may persist longer than a few weeks – and having them checked by a GP as early as possible.
A big THANK YOU in advance to everyone getting involved!
