So, in September, I’ll be running the Great North Run with Binksy. We are doing it for a great cause, Bone Cancer Research Trust. Binksy unfortunately lost his Mum to the disease last year, so we’ve decided to run a half marathon to raise some funds. Binksy’s already raised a load of money, so if you can help me out a bit, even if it’s a couple of quid, you can find the Just Giving link in my profile page.

I’ve done a half marathon before, hated it, and said I’d never do another one again. My Mum actually saw me finish it and told me I was stupid for doing it because of how bad I looked at the end! So why we’ve decided to do this is for two reasons, raise a bit of money for BCRT and to remember Bridget (Binksy’s Mum), she was an absolute diamond 💎

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!
