Story
Me and my Dad will be doing the 5k Park Run on 3rd September to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust, in memory of Matthew Hollingworth, an incredible person I was so lucky to call a friend, who sadly passed away in February this year.

I met Matt through the uni of Nottingham's brass band when he was manager and he was truly such a huge part of my first year of uni experience, instantly making me feel so welcome. Even throughout everything he went through he was constantly caring for everyone else and making a joke whenever he could and I feel so grateful to have known such an inspirational lad. 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!
