Story

Thank you for visiting my page.

I'm running the 2023 London Marathon for Sarcoma UK in memory of my sister in law, Sarah, who was diagnosed with Sarcoma in 2015 and sadly passed away in 2018. I hope that the money raised can help give Sarcoma patients the chance of a better outcome.

I've watched my brother, James, run marathons in Sarah's memory and now I've taken the plunge to run London Marathon in a bone costume.

I'll be running with James, who will again be running, but this time as 'the never forgotten ball' to create 'The Bone and The Ball' duo.

Sarcoma UK is a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep the specialist Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.
