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

This April, Jake and Ben will be running the London Marathon in memory of Susan Fitz-Gibbon and in support of Chordoma UK. Susan was a great friend to us and to many of our friends and their families and as part of her brave fight against the disease she was also the founder of Chordoma UK.

Chordoma is a rare and relentless bone cancer that can occur in people of all ages and the aim of Chordoma UK is to support the dedicated research initiatives at the UCL Cancer Institute.

By running the London Marathon, we hope to raise and contribute a significant amount of money to the charity. This will help to continue and further support the incredible work that is made possible by Chordoma UK.

We aim to raise a minimum of £3,000 and run the London Marathon on April 22nd 2018 to help further Chordoma UK's research and help for current sufferers. 

Please be on the look out for up and coming fun raising events in March and please donate if you are able to.

Thanks for reading,

Jake and Ben
