As some of you may know our dad (Bhupesh) suffered a life changing stroke in April 2020, which later led to being diagnosed with Sarcoma Cancer at the end of 2020. We found out then that this type of cancer (extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma) is in-curable. Since the diagnosis Dad has been under-going treatment and has been told that his type is so rare that they only tend to see 1 or 2 cases of this kind a year.

Sarcoma UK are the only charity in the UK focusing on all types of sarcoma. They are a national charity that funds vital research, offering support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting us, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep their Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care. Thank you for your support.
