Chordoma UK was established in 2013 as a special fundraising initiative incorporated into UCL Cancer Institute Research Trust. Chordoma is a rare, relentless and difficult to treat bone cancer that occurs in the head and spine in people of all ages regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. During 2017 Chordoma UK became an independent UK registered charity and exists to (a) promote and provide financial support to encourage primary and peripheral research projects into chordoma and research projects that might benefit the understanding of, and treatments, therapies, and cures for, chordoma being undertaken at bona-fide research establishments within the United Kingdom and elsewhere. (b) provide patient support services and other support resources for chordoma sufferers and those connected with or related to chordoma sufferers (c) promote awareness into chordoma within the patient, healthcare, and clinician communities. (e) support individuals and organisations whose aim is to raise funds for Chordoma UK and (f) provide financial assistance for other charities or bodies as are in any way concerned with research into chordoma and other related cancers or with the furtherance of awareness of chordoma.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Sue Fitz-Gibbon is one of the most inspirational people I have ever known. 

Diagnosed with the rare form of cancer Chordoma, affecting only 500 people in the UK, 10 years ago, she googled the cancer to find no answers. Now, thanks to the charity she and her husband, Gerald, founded, over £400,000 has been raised for research, awareness and information to help those who find themselves in the same position that she was in.

Sadly, she passed away at the start of this year, and so I would like to dedicate this jump to her and hope to raise both money and awareness of this tragic disease. Even just sharing this page would mean a great deal to me as it would help spread the word.
