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.

My son, Finn, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2020 when he was only 18. It's an ongoing journey. He had limb salvaging surgery and nearly a year of chemotherapy. He's had two pulmonary tumours since finishing all that treatment and two surgeries to remove them and has 3 monthly scans to this day which is quite a dark cloud to carry around at his age. It's his 23rd birthday this Saturday (5th Oct) so please help me to help him and others cursed with this disease that is hugely underfunded.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the only charity dedicated to this disease, we are a small but national charity based in Leeds, UK.
