This week’s goes to Peter and Harry Franklin for organising the Mothecombe Fun Run and barbecue, and to all the fantastic runners who took part.

The event was an 8-mile run through the beautiful Flete Estate, with runners starting by crossing the Erme estuary (at low tide, but still with wet feet!) and finishing with a well-deserved barbecue🏃 🍔

Peter was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing sarcoma in 2007 when he was just 23 years old. Following a recurrence shortly after completing his treatment, Peter enrolled in a clinical trial and was one of the few patients to experience a positive response.

Ever since then, Peter, his family, and friends have fundraised for the Bone Cancer Research Trust to help fund research and support those affected by primary bone cancer.

Thank you so much 🧡

Congratulations to Georgie, who was crowned Good Morning Britain's Young Fundraiser of the Year at The Pride of Britain Awards ⭐

After being diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma at 15 years old following intense leg pain, Georgie underwent 54 rounds of treatment which included chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Determined to make a difference and support people like her, Georgie gave out cards to her fellow patients at the Beaston West of Scotland Cancer centre - affectionately known as ‘pocket hugs.’

She went on to fundraise over £55,000 and even met with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to advocate for bone cancer patients and discuss the Rare Cancers Bill, which the Bone Cancer Research Trust is proudly supporting.

This week, we were proud to join patients, policymakers and members of the Cancer52 community in Westminster 💼

The event provided a valuable opportunity to highlight the work of cancer charities across a range of projects, enabling us to learn from each other and strengthen our collective efforts to improve outcomes for patients.

We were honoured to present on the National Sarcoma Awareness Project and our long-term and late effects project, showcasing the awareness work we're committed to delivering for our community 🧡
