Story

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is dedicated to saving lives & improving outcomes for people affected by primary bone cancer. 

Want to join us in supporting a good cause? We are raising money for Bone Cancer Research Trust by taking on the challenge of doing 2000 burpees each in November and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. We have included information about Bone Cancer Research Trust below.

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.

To raise money 30 of us (players & coaches) will be doing 2000 burpees each during November - that's a whopping 60, 000 burpees in total!

Please support us and their work today.

Thank you! 🧡
