4 month's ago I (luckily!) bagged my local running club, Wetherby Runners AC, place in the 2024 London Marathon. This is my first marathon so to say I am a little nervous is an understatement BUT I have fantastic support around me and so far the training is going well.
Given it is my first marathon I would also like to raise funds for The amazing Bone Cancer Research Trust, a charity currently supporting a local family and friend, whose daughter is currently battling Ewing Sarcoma.
The Bone Cancer Research Trust is dedicated 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!
