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, in 2019 the major UK cancer research charities reduced their bone cancer research investment again by a massive 17% to a mere £198,575 – the lowest figure since 2002. Collectively the major cancer research charities spent over £700million on research last year, yet despite having some of the most brutal treatment regimes and poorest of outcomes, just 0.028% was spent on bone cancer – not even close to 1%!
Last year alone, with the support of people like you, the Bone Cancer Research Trust were able to commit an incredible £807,824 to pioneering and life-saving research. That’s over four times what all the major UK cancer research charities spent collectively.
Please support me and their work today. Thank you! 🧡 Facebook pays all the processing fees for you, so 100% of your donation goes directly to the charity.
