On February 6, the Chondrosarcoma Foundation initiates Chondrosarcoma Awareness Day to bring awareness to Chondrosarcoma and honor the legacy of Shayna Elise Kramer who passed away from this rare cancer in November 2019. This February 6, 2026, will be her 35th heavenly birthday. It was Shayna’s wish to educate the public about Chondrosarcoma and support patients and their families suffering from this rare disease.
Every year we pay tribute to CS Survivors and those who lost their battle with Chondrosarcoma. We consider it an honor to share your story and journey for the upcoming February 6, Chondrosarcoma Awareness Day. If you write the first draft, we will help you edit and put the final touches on it. In addition to writing the first draft of your journey, we ask you to send pictures of you and your family and pictures that reflect your life. We like to include 3-5 pictures with each tribute. We also like to include captions for each picture including names of family, friends, pets and locations. We want to share your life accomplishments and diagnosis and journey with Chondrosarcoma.
During the month of January, we will distribute your tribute to all of our social media platforms, our web site and e-mails to over 3,500. We will ensure that your story gets wide distribution through e-mail and social media platforms.
