Story

Mum was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in June 2022. She had her right arm amputated but died 5 months later during palliative chemo. Mum taught me to knit, and so in her honour I am going to teach myself to knit using just my left hand.

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, they are a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK. They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated, trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones, all without any government funding.

They rely 100% on amazing people like you supporting their work through donations.

Challenges like this one directly help fund the Bone Cancer Research Trust. Help to support them today 🧡
