Story

I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon this year to raise vital funds for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. Please support me today!

If you’re able to support this cause that would be great. I was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma in my femur (leg) in 2017. After a successful operation to remove it though, I have remained cancer free and I want to raise awareness and help with research into this.

Every 10 minutes somewhere another child, teenager or adult is diagnosed with this brutal disease and they face a 5-year chance of survival at little over 50%. This drops even further if the disease is discovered late and has already progressed.

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...

Figures from the National Cancer Research Institute have shown that research into primary bone cancer continues to be critically underfunded, with the main UK charities allocating just 0.02%. The Bone Cancer Research Trust invested almost 9x more in 2021 than all of the major charities combined.
