My Story

Hello! I am taking on the London Marathon 2024 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. Eeek yes a whole bloody marathon!!! Think of all those blinking miles 😆😆😆

Anyway, the gauntlet is laid down and the challenge is accepted - I've started off with low-key training exercises like the odd half marathon here and there, I'll be running the Great North Run in September so that should be delightful I'm sure!!

Please dig deep and sponsor me so that together we can support this marvellous charity.

The charity is one very close to my heart, bone cancer has touched the lives of some of my most favourite people in the world who have been and continued to be the strongest and most resilient humans I have ever had the privilege to know. Go team Woods 👏🏽♥️

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 regular 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%
