Story

Backstory 

In 2016 I completed the Manchester 10k to try and raise as much money for Chordoma UK. A few years have now passed and have now decided to set myself a new goal of running the Manchester half marathon with the added help of my girlfriend Elle this time. 

Why we are doing this / What does your raised money go towards 

As some of you may be aware my grandma was affected by this very rare condition for many years. I am determined to help raise any money I can to help try and prevent this happening to anybody else in the future. 

Chordoma is a rare cancer that effects roughly 1 in 800,000 people. The funds that are raised through this are needed to develop new therapies for controlling the growth of the tumor. 

Target

I raised £750 back in 2016 and of course by nature I am aiming to try and beat this.  

Thank you 

I am grateful to all the people we know who feel they may be able to donate whether it is a couple of pounds or more, as it all counts.

Thanks for reading Elliot & Elle

Chordoma UK was established in 2013 as a special fundraising initiative incorporated into UCL Cancer Institute Research Trust. Chordoma is a rare, relentless and difficult to treat bone cancer that occurs in the head and spine in people of all ages regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. During 2017 Chordoma UK became an independent UK registered charity and exists to (a) promote and provide financial support to encourage primary and peripheral research projects into chordoma and research projects that might benefit the understanding of, and treatments, therapies, and cures for, chordoma being undertaken at bona-fide research establishments within the United Kingdom and elsewhere. (b) provide patient support services and other support resources for chordoma sufferers and those connected with or related to chordoma sufferers (c) promote awareness into chordoma within the patient, healthcare, and clinician communities. (e) support individuals and organisations whose aim is to raise funds for Chordoma UK and (f) provide financial assistance for other charities or bodies as are in any way concerned with research into chordoma and other related cancers or with the furtherance of awareness of chordoma.
