Story
Thank you for visiting my page. I've chosen to run the 2024 Royal Parks Half Marathon for Sarcoma UK, a national charity that funds vital research and offers support for anyone affected by sarcoma cancer.
I’ll be running to commemorate my Dad, Tom Glynn, who passed away 10 years ago this year on 5th October 2014.
In February 2011, my Dad stepped down from a low step and the femur in his left leg snapped. He was rushed to hospital, and within a matter of days he was given the terminal diagnosis of Stage 4 dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
Being the force of a man he was, he fought hard against it, and managed to keep going for 3 years. Unfortunately, in 2014 we were told that the cancer had spread and that it was terminal.
Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep the specialist Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.
Thank you so much for your support! <3
