My Story

I am running the 2025 TCS London Marathon to raise money for Bone Cancer Research Trust. Please support me today.

I have chosen to run for this charity as ive seen how this disease affected one of our first team Nick Anderton, he beat this disease with courage and determination and im gonna need that same level of both to complete this challenge.

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% of the £630million research investment for 2020-21 to this devastating disease.

However, the Bone Cancer Research Trust invested almost 9x more into primary bone cancer research during 2021 than all of these major charities combined.
