Story

Thank you for visiting my page. I've chosen to run the 2023 London Marathon for Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research, offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer and campaigns for better treatments. I have been a sarcoma specialist nurse in South Wales since 2011 and a trustee for Sarcoma UK since 2017 so have first-hand experience of how sarcoma affects people and of the positive impact that the charity has on people's lives.

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. 

Your donations go so far in helping the sarcoma community: £1 could cover the cost of 10 texts to the support line. £10 could be used to buy microscope slides to look at cells in minute detail. £30 could fund one hour of use of a high-powered laboratory microscope. £150 could fund the support line for a week.

Thank you for your support.
