Walking the Freedom Trail for Sarcoma
July 18th at 10:00 a.m.
Boston, Massachusetts
On Saturday, July 18th, the Jennifer Hunter Yates Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital will join together in their 4th Team Sarcoma walk. In the past, this walk has helped bring together all those who have been impacted by sarcoma – patients, survivors, families and friends. It not only gives the walkers a chance to discuss information regarding sarcoma, but by walking as a group, in a similar t-shirt, we bring recognition to the general population of what sarcoma is. Throughout the walk, we will have posters to hold, and flyers to hand out.
This year’s walk will begin at 10:00 a.m. We will meet at the entrance of Massachusetts General Hospital and take a group photo before we begin our walk. The walk route starts on Cambridge Street, which will take us to The Freedom Trail on School Street in Boston. From there we will walk through Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market and then to the North End, completing our walk at the Old North Church. The total walk will be approximately three miles.
One of the Jennifer Hunter Yates Sarcoma Foundation’s missions is to connect people whose lives have been affected by sarcoma. This event is one way that peohple can connect and know that they are not alone in their fight.

What: Reid’s Ride 28-mile Bike-a-thon
When: Sunday, July 20
Where: Lynnfield to Gloucester, Massachusetts
Participants cycled from Lynnfield to Gloucester where they were met with an oceanside barbeque lunch, music, and prizes at Stage Fort Park. The route was 28 miles in length and moderately challenging. This event was not a race, so riders rode at their own pace, arriving at the finish line between 1.5 and 4 hours after starting. The route passed through a broad range of environments – everything from small neighborhoods and town centers, to rural countryside and past massive coastal estates. Later portions of the route ran parallel to the ocean approaching Cape Ann. A facilities-equipped rest and refreshments stop was set up in a parking lot at Endicott College facing the ocean, at roughly the half-way point.
Reid Sacco lost his two-year battle to rhabdomyosarcoma in 2005 at age 20. Proceeds from Reid’s Ride benefit the Reid Sacco Memorial Cancer Fund and its mission to find better treatments and someday a cure for sarcomas and other cancers that strike adolescents and young adults.
