All of us at Sarcoma UK are deeply saddened to share that Rob Myers has died.

Rob co-founded the Liverpool sarcoma support group and was a dedicated and compassionate source of support for many people affected by sarcoma. His empathy, kindness, and commitment to supporting both patients and families made a lasting difference across the sarcoma community.

Although Rob stepped down from running the support group last year due to ill health, he remained in close contact and continued to offer support wherever he could. His presence will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone who knew him.

A huge thank you to Thomas and everyone who took part in the Rare But Real Walk he organised. 💙

Over five days, Thomas and his team walked a phenomenal 167km across six counties, from Nottingham’s City Ground to the Malvern Hills. They faced sore feet, intense heat and challenging terrain, all in support of Thomas’s brother Joseph, 22, who is currently undergoing treatment for Ewing sarcoma.

Supported by family, friends and generous members of the public along the way, the team has raised over £7,000 for Sarcoma UK.

We’re so grateful to everyone who walked, donated, cheered from the sidelines and helped make this challenge such a success.

A huge thank you to Abi and Izzy, who recently took on the Plymouth Half Marathon in support of Sarcoma UK 🏃‍♀️💙

Izzy’s mum was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma last year and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Thankfully, her tumour has begun to shrink.

Wanting to give back and raise awareness, Izzy, a medical student at Plymouth University, and her friend Abi took on the Plymouth Half Marathon to help fund vital research and essential support services for those affected by sarcoma.

Abi and Izzy aren’t stopping there, next up is the Royal Parks Half Marathon this October as they continue their fundraising journey for Sarcoma UK.

Tomorrow, David Dunne will begin a 160-mile ultramarathon along the Pennine Way, raising funds for Sarcoma UK after his teenage daughter Evie was diagnosed with sarcoma last year.

Evie was 16 when her mum, Catherine, noticed a small bump on her leg. Within weeks, the family were facing a sarcoma diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy and months of uncertainty.

David said: “When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, life changes instantly - not just for them but for the whole family. Since Evie’s diagnosis, we’ve experienced first-hand the emotional and physical challenges that come with treatment, surgery and uncertainty.”

Evie’s treatment has now finished, and her recovery is underway, with regular scans to monitor her wellbeing. She is also currently taking her GCSEs, after months away from school.

Tomorrow, David will take on the Montane Summer Spine Challenger North, a self-navigated and largely self-supported race from Yorkshire to the Scottish Borders. He will have 90 hours to complete the route, managing his own navigation, kit, food, pacing and sleep.

David said: “There will be long days, little sleep, difficult weather and moments where I’ll want to stop - but those challenges are nothing compared to what people living with sarcoma and their families face every day.”

Thank you, David, for taking on this challenge for Evie and for everyone affected by sarcoma.

Thank you to Dr Caroline Johnson for raising the issue of VAT charges for cancer patients in the House of Commons, and to Dr Scott Arthur MP for mentioning Sarcoma UK in his response.

Dr Arthur asked whether the Treasury Minister would meet charities like Sarcoma UK to hear first-hand about the impact this issue is having on patients.

We welcome the continued attention on this issue and thank all MPs who spoke on behalf of people affected by cancer.

Sarcoma UK will continue to work with parliamentarians to make sure the voices of people affected by sarcoma are heard.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Walk in Glasgow last weekend! 💙

It was a fantastic day filled with community spirit, as dedicated supporters came together to raise vital awareness of sarcoma. It was inspiring to see so many people taking part, each with their own connection to sarcoma and united by a shared commitment to making a difference.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who walked, donated, volunteered, and cheered throughout the day.
