Story

Well we're all in it together this year as Issy is old enough to compete in Royal Parks for the first time!  It will be lovely to run as a family in memory of Jess.  She would be amazed to think that we are all running a half marathon in her honour and we know she would be very proud of us.  None of us are natural runners (well maybe Mic!) but it's a fantastic route and the crowds motivate you to keep going.  One day there will be a cure for primary bone cancer.  This is our way of helping to make that happen so that other children, like our beautiful girl, have a chance to live the long and happy lives they deserve. 

The Bone Cancer Research Trust are such an amazing charity and, having attended their recent conference, we can confirm that they are making a massive difference in taking the fight to bone cancer.  Research is underway that simply wasn't happening before and you can find out more at their website http://www.bcrt.org.uk/our-research/.  This is the research that you are helping to make happen. 

Thank you to absolutely everyone who has supported our fundraising and continues to do so in memory of Jess.  It's lovely to have your support.
