Dr. R. Lor Randall, Director of Sarcoma Services and Susie Crabtree, RN Study Coordinator of Sarcoma Services at the Huntsman Cancer Institute worked together to organize the Team Sarcoma Utah event as part of the Team Sarcoma 2006 Initiative. They used the word “Utah” to indicate that not only was the Hunstman Cancer Institute involved but also several other health care providers, namely, Sarcoma Services, University Health Care, and the Intermountain Primary Children’s Medical Center.
They had planned a hike in the Salt Lake City area, After the event was over Susie sent us note that stated, in part, “Bruce we had sixty participants and a great time. Walked or rode to the top of the mountain (six miles) and had a BBQ. … We had families, family’s friends, patients, patients family, physicians and family, nurses, sarcoma staff, HCI staff of all walks and it was great fun. Thank you for the invitation.
Later. this note was followed up with a more detailed accounting, “On July 7th at 6pm a group of sixty plus hikers started up City Creek Canyon in Salt Lake City for a six mile hike to the top of the trail for a BBQ and to celebrate Sarcoma Awareness Week. Patients, families of present and former patients, physicians, nurses and health care providers of all entities walked side by side as long as their strength would last. We had transport up and down the trail for those that tired easily. Some walked, rode, then walked again; some walked all the way; some rode most of the way, and some biked. We met at the top at 7:30 for a BBQ, made new friends and mingled. We then took pictures and finished with a group picture where almost all walkers (that weren’t hiking along the river) participated. It was a beautiful setting and a great time was had by everyone with the promise by all to meet again at the same time next year.”
