Thank you once again to Matt Forde, who continues to support our work on every stop of his brilliant tour, Defying Calamity.

In 2023, Matt underwent 13 hour surgery and had to adapt to life with a stoma. In speaking openly about it on stage he continues to inspire so many.

Thanks to the generosity of his fantastic audiences, our running total has now over reached £30,000!

Together, we’re accelerating vital research 🧡

From one inspirational vision to international research progress.

In 2001, Liz Clarke-Saul was just 12 when she was diagnosed with adamantinoma, a rare form of bone cancer. In 2018, the disease returned and had spread to her lungs and spine. Liz then made the extraordinary decision to channel her energy into changing the future for other patients.

In 2019, Liz and her husband Jack set up The Liz Clarke-Saul Fund, creating hope where there had been very little research. Liz passed away in July 2020, but her vision continued and became the foundation for the UK’s first adamantinoma research programme that continues today 🧡

Liz’s legacy is driving real progress through international collaboration, with Jack and Liz’s parents, Jeremy and Lesley, recently visiting Professor Judith Bovée at Universiteit Leiden / Leiden University in the Netherlands to see first-hand how this work is bringing us closer to more accurate diagnosis and better outcomes for patients.

Today on International Clinical Trials Day, we’re proud to highlight research that’s helping shape the future of treatment for Ewing sarcoma patients.

With a Clinical Trial Support Grant from the Bone Cancer Research Trust, Professor Bernadette Brennan from Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust , Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is leading a study within the INTER-EWING-1 clinical trial, in collaboration with Professor Hans Merks, Prinses Máxima Centrum voor kinderoncologie and Mr Piers Gaunt, Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit (CRCTU), University of Birmingham.

Together, they are testing if an advanced whole-body imaging technique is better at detecting bone metastases in Ewing sarcoma than PET/CT scans.

“Accurately detecting whether Ewing sarcoma has spread to other bones is critical in guiding treatment decisions and improving outcomes for patients. This study will help us understand whether this advanced whole-body imaging approach can identify metastases more effectively and monitor how they respond to treatment.” - Professor Bernadette Brennan

This research is a vital step towards giving clinicians a clearer, more accurate picture of the disease and ensuring patients receive the right treatment at the right time.

New Research Grant Call Now Open 📢

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is proud to be partnering once again with CCLG: The Children & Young People’s Cancer Association to fund research focused on Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma.

Over the past several decades, advancements in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma have remained limited. Patients still face intensive, toxic chemotherapy, long term side effects, and the ongoing risk of relapse, while better ways to predict prognosis and treatment response are urgently needed.

We are committed to improving outcomes for Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma patients by funding high impact, innovative and collaborative research, made possible by the incredible kindness and generosity of those who support both charities. Together, we will make a difference 🧡

This week our is for Deborah, who is back for a second consecutive year at the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2026, in celebration of her nephew James 👏

"James is my inspiration and my hero, after being diagnosed age 13 with osteosarcoma, I will always be proud of his strength and courage throughout his treatments.

He celebrates his 29th birthday this year and I hope to make him proud with my small attempt to repay Bone Cancer Research Trust for the continued fight against this disease and to help raise awareness of all their support!"

Deborah describes herself as a complete novice runner and began training last year on her 61st birthday using Couch to 5k, progressing to running 4-5 times a week. Amazing! 🏃‍♂️
