Story
This year, I turn 30. A milestone that should be filled with celebration — but for me, it’s also filled with purpose.
I’ve set myself three of the biggest physical challenges I could imagine:
🏃♀️ Running the London Marathon
🏊♀️ Swimming 33km (the distance of the channel) in a pool (location tbc) ((support very much welcome)
💪 Completing an full distance Ironman Italy triathlon on September 19th
Why? Because I’m doing it all in memory of my dad — the man who was my heart and soul.
He was my biggest supporter, my anchor, and my inspiration. Losing him to bone cancer broke me in ways I still can’t put into words. But now, I’m channelling that pain into purpose. Every mile, every stroke, and every step is for him — and for everyone affected by this brutal disease.
Bone cancer is rare, underfunded, and devastating. Research is the only way forward — to give families more time, more options, more hope. So this year, while I push my body to its limits, I’m asking for your support to help fund life-saving research through Bone Cancer Research Trust.
Please donate what you can. Share this page. Be part of this journey. Because together, we can turn heartbreak into hope. And because he would have been so, so proud.
For Dad. For a cure.
The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only charity dedicated to this disease, it is a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK. They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated and trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones... All without any government funding. They rely 100% on people like you supporting their work through donations.
Their work has never been so crucial and vital. Figures from the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) have shown that research into primary bone cancer continues to be critically underfunded, with the main UK charities allocating just 0.02% of the £630million research investment for 2020-21 to this devastating disease.
