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!

I’ve been a big fan of this small charity for a long time. As a researcher myself before I retired, I know that they make every penny countin their efforts to find better treatments for bone cancer. This year I am asking people to sponsor the next step in my slow walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats. 

I started in spring 2015- walking for a few weeks each year. Five years and a knee replacement later I have reached Killin at the western head of Loch Tay and hope to reach the Black Isle, North of Inverness, before the final push to the finishing line in 2021 (be warned- I’ll be back for some more money next time as well!)
