Sean’s Step Mum

Sean first became aware of the BCRT when completing a dissertation for his Master’s Degree which investigated in part, the Post-chemotherapy effects of load-bearing exercise on bone mineral density; Sean’s step mum was the case study for this successful exploratory study.

Awareness

The voice of the primary bone cancer community

600 people a year in the UK and Ireland are diagnosed with primary bone cancer, a rare but brutal disease. The disease can strike at any age and is all too often misdiagnosed, which typically leads to a guarantee of advanced cancer kicking in and a worse outlook for survival. At best diagnosed patients have to contend with a 50% survival rate, life altering surgery or even amputation. Despite this being such a devastating disease, primary bone cancer remains under profiled and under-funded, which are 2 reasons why survival rates haven’t improved in over three decades.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust, (aka #TeamBones) is the leading charity dedicated to fighting primary bone cancer through research, information, awareness, and support. Relying purely on donations they’ve spent over £3million in the last 10 years fighting this disease, funding groundbreaking research, raising awareness, providing much needed patient information as well as a support network. But they won’t stop there.

‘The Biggest Fight Against Bone Cancer – Ever!’

is the charity’s year-long campaign launched for 2017, which aims to raise £1.1million – this will ensure they can fund more research, provide more information, raise more awareness, support more individuals and ultimately save more lives!
