Hello! We are fourteen people and a dog, and we'll be walking the National Three Peaks over the weekend of 13th June 2020 to raise money for the Bone Cancer Research Trust (Jude's Fund). We're doing this in honour of Georgy, a member of the football team with which some of us are involved, who is currently having treatment for Ewing's Sarcoma. Despite the conditions of lockdown, we aim to complete both the distance and altitude required. Denstone College, near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, has been kind enough to allow us to use their grounds to complete this challenge. Their generosity plays a big part in making sure that this can go ahead.
The Bone Cancer Research Trust is dedicated to saving lives & improving outcomes for people affected by primary bone cancer. 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!
