Today we've announced the completed enrollment in the FIREFLY-2 clinical trial, evaluating our medicine as a front-line treatment for pediatric low-grade glioma (pLGG). This is another step forward in our work to evolve the pLGG treatment paradigm and ultimately establish a new standard of care for patients newly diagnosed with pLGG.

Lily Farnham, a high school junior in Maryland, is part of a new generation of sarcoma advocates turning personal inspiration into action. After being deeply impacted by the death of YouTuber Technoblade from sarcoma, Lily began researching the disease and discovered the Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA). Motivated by a lack of awareness and funding for sarcoma, she founded an SFA Club at her school to honor Technoblade and support the sarcoma community.

Now an official school club with nearly 30 members, the group meets regularly to learn about sarcoma, share educational resources, and plan fundraising and awareness activities. Lily’s advocacy became even more personal when she and her family participated in the 2025 Race to Cure Sarcoma in Washington, D.C., where she met patients, survivors, and families impacted by the disease. She hopes to bring her fellow club members to the 2026 race, continuing to turn her “why” into meaningful action and showing how students can play a powerful role in #sarcoma research and advocacy.

Sarcoma Stories is joined by Crystal Mollica, a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) survivor. After receiving an initial misdiagnosis, Crystal trusted her instincts and advocated for a second opinion—one decision that ultimately led to an accurate MPNST diagnosis and life-saving care. This conversation is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-advocacy, especially within rare cancer spaces like the sarcoma community.

AYAware. AYA Cancer Awareness Week https://t.co/ggA7CQtyF1

[Reid Sacco AYA Cancer Alliance @AYACancerAllian]

People are finally starting to talk about it, so now we need to keep the momentum going to bring even more awareness to the specific challenges AYAs face.

[Reid Sacco AYA Cancer Alliance @AYACancerAllian]

Cancer is more than just a diagnosis—it’s a full-body, full-life battle. For young adults facing cancer, pain, fatigue, and mental health struggles like anxiety and depression hit hard—at rates much higher than those over 40. *1*

[Reid Sacco AYA Cancer Alliance @AYACancerAllian]

That’s why we’re here, making noise during #AYAware Week. Because no young adult should have to fight this alone. #AYACancer #AYACancerAwareness #MentalHealthMatters *3*
