Story
Hugh died at 19 from Ewing's Sarcoma. It is a very rare bone cancer and gets very little funding. So far there is no cure and very few survive.
It is also often misdiagnosed as a Sports Injury - most GPs will never have seen a case - which is why every year I do my best to raise awareness. If a young person -12 to 26 - has a 'Sports Injury' that won't go away, get it checked out and don't take no for an answer.
Because it is so rare it gets very little funding which is why I support the BCRT.
While other major cancer charities often overlook bone cancer, the Bone Cancer Research Trust is the leading UK charity funding research into this brutal disease – thanks to the generosity of its supporters.
With continued investment, they’ll find new treatments and, one day, a cure for all. Until then, they’re here for everyone affected, offering support, trusted information, and hope.
