I'm taking part in the 2024 TCS London Marathon to raise
money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust in memory of my late grandad. Sadly, our family is only one of millions around the world that has been affected by cancer - according to the NHS, 1 in 2 people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.

My grandad was originally diagnosed with prostate cancer, which then spread to his bones. The treatment and support he received was astonishing and next to none. He is the main reason why I have chosen to take part in the Marathon as I would love to be able to support a charity so close to my heart!

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. Figures from the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) have shown that research into primary bone cancer continues to be critically underfunded, with the main UK charities allocating just 0.02%

All donations are greatly appreciated and will help support life changing research!
