Which cancer foundation has Technoblade raised money?
In September 2021, Technoblade hosted a charity stream for the Sarcoma Foundation of America, and during the stream he strongly suggested that this was his type of cancer.
In just under four hours, he was able to raise $323,000 for cancer research.
Technoblade smashed his original goal of raising $250,000, where he raised a total of $323,000 for the charity of the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
It came just a month after he made his cancer diagnosis public in a video uploaded in August 2021.
What type of cancer did Technoblade have?
Technoblade died of cancer but did not officially reveal what type of cancer he was battling, despite his ties to the Sarcoma Foundation of America.
However, many speculated that it was sarcoma, a tumor that develops in the soft tissues and bones, according to the Mayo Clinic.
These are rare types of tumors that develop in connective tissue such as muscle and fat, as well as in bones.
Most of the time, the exact etiology of sarcoma is unknown. Family history and exposure to radiation or chemicals can increase the risk.
Tumor type and location influence symptoms. They may have a palpable bump or pain.
Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are all possible forms of treatment.
On June 30, Technoblade made one last YouTube video post titled “So long nerds,” in which his father shared the tragic news of his son’s passing.
He was only 23 years old when he died.
