SFA's Founders

We’re back from our summer hiatus with a very special episode to kick off Season 2! August 2025 marked the beginning of SFA’s 25th anniversary year, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by going back to where it all began—with a conversation featuring SFA’s three founders: Dr. Mark Thornton, Tricia Thornton, and Dr. Jack Brooks. In this episode, you'll hear the story behind SFA’s founding—from the spark of an idea to the early, humbling days, through years of growth and impact. Mark, Tricia, and Jack reflect on the journey so far, what they’re most proud of, and their hopes for the future of the sarcoma community and the organization over the next 25 years. Listen in—and join the conversation! If you have questions for Mark, Tricia, or Jack, head over to our Sarcoma Stories Facebook Group and ask away. We’d love to hear from you!
