Story

Thank you for visiting my page.I’m supporting Sarcoma UK, the only cancer charity in the UK focused on all types of sarcoma. 

My partner Julie was diagnosed with a Sarcoma nearly 5 years ago.. Thankfully it was caught early enough. Since knowing Julie I’ve got to know about Sarcoma, as it was something I’d never heard of before. Every six months we go to The Royal Marsden in London, Julie has her scan and then we go back for the results.  We have been lucky, and by helping me raise my target amount we can help more people hopefully be as fortunate.

Sarcoma is a cancer of the bone and soft tissue. It is one of the hardest to diagnose, and difficult to treat. We can help change this. By donating to my page, you will fund vital research projects looking for better treatments. Your donation will also raise awareness of the symptoms of sarcoma to help patients get an early diagnosis, and ensure everyone has access to specialist advice .

Thanks for reading
