Story

I will be running the 2022 London Marathon to raise money for The Bone Cancer Research Trust - a cause very close to both mine and my partner Lily's hearts. Seeing first hand the damage this debilitating condition inflicts on both on patients, parents, and loved ones, I have all the more admiration for the dedication of the Bone Cancer Research Trust 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!

Anyone who has seen my eating habits, or me playing football for upwards of 5 minutes will know that running a marathon will be no easy feat. Please donate generously to easy the pain of my training, and to help a really worthwhile cause.

Thank you for reading!
