Story
I am running the Snetterton Race Track 10k and raising money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. My Auntie was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma (a rare bone cancer) in August 2022. Since her diagnosis she has undergone two limb salvaging surgeries to remove a 20 cm tumor. Her femur was replaced with a custom built titanium implant. Auntie Sally was an avid runner and this impacted her life immensely so I am running this race for her to raise not only money but awareness of this rare type of cancer.

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!
