Story

In November 2024 we lost our brother, Finley to Osteosarcoma at just 28 years old.

Finley was the youngest of four siblings and a really loved brother and son, his passing has left a huge hole in our family.

Oesteosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer, with notoriously slow diagnosis rates alongside poor outcomes.

To contribute to reducing the likelihood that another family will have to experience the same loss as us we have decided to run the 2026 London Marathon. We aim to raise awareness and as much money as possible for The Bone Cancer Research Trust, who use funding to research better treatment options for those with bone cancer

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... 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.
