Towards the end of 2022, after breaking her collarbone, Christine was diagnosed with Bone Cancer. This is Christine’s second time battling Cancer and what a cruel disease it is. Over the last year the cancer has progressed rapidly and Christine has undergone countless appointments and treatment sessions which quite honestly are brutal.

Not only is the cancer eating away at Christine but it has a huge impact on her family and friends who see the mental and physical pain everyday.

Christine is fighting hard and still manages to smile despite everything so I feel the least I can do is put my trainers on and run some miles for an extremely deserving cause.

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!
