I am running the London Marathon this April 2024 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. I'm raising money in memory of Sam who died aged 23 of Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer, in May 2020. My goal is to raise £2,500 for Fitzy's Fund, which funds the vital research necessary to help us find a cure for Ewing Sarcoma and save the lives of people like Sam.

Sam was a force of nature full of joie de vivre. He was fun, loving and lovable with a very wide circle of friends. He worked hard and played hard, making the most of life.His approach to life was straightforward: to appreciate the beauty in life; live each day as if it were his last and to help everyone he could along the way. He was pretty successful at this right up until his death from Ewing sarcoma on 16 May 2020, aged 23.When Sam was eventually diagnosed with Ewing's in July 2018, there were already tumours throughout his body but Sam never shied away from the challenge facing him. Instead he met it with determination, courage, grace and, more often than not, humour. Nor did he let his life be defined by cancer - he continued to live it in his own inimitable style.The aim of Fitzys Fund is to fund vital research into Ewing sarcoma where current treatments are limited and survival rates for metastatic disease are dismal. Your support means the world to us, thank you.

Thank you for any donations - they are all much appreciated and going to a really worthwhile cause.
