Sarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the muscle, bone, nerves, cartilage, tendons, blodd vessels and the fatty and fibrous tissues. There are approximately 3,800 new cases of sarcoma diagnosed in the UK each year, with around 100 different types of sarcoma. 10 people every day are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK.

Sarcoma UK is the main charity in the UK dealing with all types of sarcoma. Sarcoma UK provides information and support for anyone affected by sarcoma - patients, carers, relatives and friends. Sarcoma UK funds scientific and medical research into causes and treatments.

For those of you that know me, I have spent more than half of my career in the oncolgy/cancer field.  I have been personally affected by both death and diagnosis of cancer amongst family and friends.

- Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer

- More than 1 in 3 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime

- Breast, lung, prostate and bowel cancers together account for over half of all new cancers every year

Cancer is a devastating disease, which has, is or will affect all of us in one way or another. Please give generously, please give generously today!

Thank you!
