Next April, I am taking on the 2024 TCS London Marathon to raise money for Bone Cancer Research Trust.

This charity means a lot to me; in 2019, my cousin Joshua Williamson passed away at just 14 years old after a two and half year battle against osteosarcoma. You can read about Joshua’s story on the BCRT website: https://www.bcrt.org.uk/support/patient-stories/joshua-williamson

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, it is a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK. They fund ground-breaking research, life-saving awareness initiatives and provide dedicated and trustworthy information and support to patients and all their loved ones... All without any government funding. They rely 100% on people like you supporting their work through donations.

Their work has never been so crucial and vital. Figures from the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) have shown that research into primary bone cancer continues to be critically underfunded, with the main UK charities allocating just 0.02%

Any donations are greatly appreciated & thank you for supporting me in raising money for such an important cause.
