I will be taking part in the 2022 London Marathon to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust following my dads diagnosis of Primary Chondrosarcoma in 2017 which resulted in him needing a complete femur replacement in which a third of his muscle had to be removed. He had to learn to walk again and will always require crutches for support. 

Without the vital work of the Bone Cancer Research Trust, things would have been very different. It is only through innovative research that prosthetic bones can now be used for people diagnosed with bone cancer. 

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is dedicated to saving lives & improving outcomes for people affected by primary bone cancer. Despite being small, they fund more research projects exploring primary bone cancer than any other organisation. Other large UK cancer research charities do not prioritise bone cancer patients, in 2019 just 0.028% of their research spend went to bone cancer – not even close to 1%! Last year alone, Bone Cancer Research Trust committed an incredible £807,824 to pioneering bone cancer research - to save lives!
