Bone cancer brings heartbreak and devastation to hundreds each year. Too often, patients reach the end of current treatment options with no further hope.

As a scientist whose lab studies cancer in bone, I see both the complexity of this disease and the urgent need for better treatments. Research is essential if we are to better understand how cancers grow and spread within bone, and ultimately develop new ways to treat patients more effectively.

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 in scientists like me and my students, they can help drive the discoveries that will lead to new treatments and, one day, a cure for all. Until then, they’re here for everyone affected, offering support, trusted information, and hope.
