Charlotte and I lost our brother Ben Collen to a form of bone cancer, Ewing’s sarcoma, two and a half years ago. In Ben’s memory his family and friends have been raising money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust to Beat Bone Cancer for Ben. We all hope this will help others have more chance in fighting these life threatening cancers. So now it is Charlotte’s and my turn. This November we have decided to take on the BCRT 2000 Burpees Challenge. 

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!
