Sincerely,

The Family of Peter Skelton

Welcome to the Peter Skelton Sarcoma Research Foundation web site.  Our mission is to aid in raising awareness and funds to provide sarcoma patient’s and sarcoma treatment centers with the much needed funding to care for sarcoma patient’s and provide research money for these centers.  The lack of knowledge in the area of sarcoma is of great concern.  Research is desperately needed for this seriously devastating cancer.  Research, as you have witnessed in the area of breast cancer, can provide a better quality of life to those suffering at the current time by providing trials and treatments to fight their cancer and most importantly lead to a cure someday.  We lost our brother Peter in less than four months to a cancer we knew nothing about.  That barely gave us time to learn about, try to find help, and pray that the limited treatments available would help our brother.  We can’t even imagine the thoughts our brother was having.  Please take the time to read “Peter’s Story” by clicking on it to the left.  Sarcoma is becoming more and more prevalent every year.  It mostly affects children, between 15 and 20% of all cancer in children is sarcoma, and though rarer in adults, only 1%, is still life taking.  We need to do whatever possible to help fight this disease.  We hope this site can provide the basic information you may be looking for about sarcoma and also aid in finding a care center nearest you.  Please seek professional assistance as early as possible.  You may also notice a lot of sarcoma websites contain the color blue.  This is because Ewing’s and pPNET sarcomas are composed of small-blue-round cells.
