This goes to the incredible MB's Light Foundation, who recently hosted another incredible MB’s Legacy Cup. The indoor football tournament took place on Monday 25th May at Ballerz, Bluewater and had so much community spirit behind it.

The tournament was held in memory of MB, who passed away from osteosarcoma in 2024. His friends and family came together to raise awareness for bone cancer and fundraised for our vital work to support other bone cancer patients.

Thank you to everyone who donated, took part and purchased a ticket. They raised an outstanding £7,000, which will help so many people impacted by bone cancer.

We attended alongside one of our trustees, Charlene Young, and felt so inspired by the camaraderie and heart that went into planning such a momentous event.

You should all be so proud 🧡

We’re incredibly proud to share that the Alex Lewis Memorial Fund, a Special Fund of the Bone Cancer Research Trust, has raised over £400,000, helping to fund life-saving research into primary bone cancer and offering hope for the future 🧡

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported, fundraised and championed the fund in memory of Alex, who passed away from osteosarcoma on 17th February 2011, just five days after his wedding and his 22nd birthday.

Alex had been experiencing pain in his arm for several months, initially thought to be a pulled muscle from playing sports. When the pain persisted, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at just 17 years old. Despite undergoing intensive chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, the tumours continued to spread. Alex’s life was sadly cut short at a time when he had so much ahead of him.

In his memory, Alex’s family established the Alex Lewis Memorial Fund to support other patients and families facing primary bone cancer. Their determination to make a difference has created a lasting legacy, helping to advance research and improve outcomes for others.

Andy and Angela, Alex’s parents, shared: “We feel incredibly thrilled by the overwhelming support for Alex’s fund. It is such a wonderful way to remember Alex and the incredible person he was. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us and helped us reach this milestone - thank you all so much.”

We're proud to be attending the annual EuSARC Conference in Oslo, representing the bone cancer community and joining leading researchers, clinicians and organisations dedicated to advancing sarcoma research and improving outcomes for patients.

The conference provides an invaluable opportunity to share knowledge, foster collaboration and explore the latest innovations in bone cancer biology, treatment and care.

We're also delighted to have supported several early career researchers through our Skills Development Grants, enabling them to attend the conference, share their research, expand their knowledge and network of contacts and bring back this experience to their ongoing bone sarcoma research.

We look forward to connecting with experts from across Europe and contributing to important conversations that will help drive progress in bone cancer research and care.
