Whereas rhabdomyosarcoma usually begins in the muscles 
that are attached to bones and assist with body move-
ment; 
Whereas there are 3 main types of rhabdomyosarcoma— 
embryonal (occurring in the head and neck area or in the 
genital or urinary organs), alveolar (occurring in the 
arms or legs, chest, abdomen, or genital or anal areas), 
and anaplastic (rarely occurs in children); 
Whereas Claire Frick was only 16 years old when she was di-
agnosed with stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and 
lost her battle with the disease on March 1, 2012; 
Whereas Claire Frick fought alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma for 
20 months, while continuing to sing in her school choir, 
participate with speech team debates, travel across the 
country, and maintain excellent grades which placed her 
among the top in her class, and endured 35 rounds of 
chemotherapy, 58 days of radiation, 70 days in the hos-
pital, 7 surgeries, several MRIs, PET scans, bone scans, 
and bone marrow biopsies; 
Whereas the onset for rhabdomyosarcoma is more common in 
children, but adults also have been diagnosed with this 
type of cancer, and its causes are not known; 
Whereas certain genetic conditions increase the risk of child-
hood rhabdomyosarcoma, and a possible sign of the dis-
ease is a lump or swelling that continues to enlarge; 
Whereas rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare disease, yet accounts 
for several hundreds of deaths each year; 
Whereas the National Cancer Institute dedicates $9,387,370 
in grants for rhabdomyosarcoma, which is 4.8 percent of 
total research funds for childhood cancer, $195,529,112;
