Bone Cancer Research Trust

By popular request our famous Teddy Tombola is back today at BBQ on the Green in Sturminster Marshall. In aid of the Liz Clarke-Saul fund for #adamantinoma Research with @BCRT #cancersucks #untiltheresacure

Thank you to everyone who’s donated to the @BCRT this tour. You’ve raised over £20,000 already. Because bone cancer is so rare, we know very little about it. Your generosity will help find a cure so that in future we don’t lose people to it. Thank you 🦴 🙏

Our community have loved being on tour with @MattForde and his amazing audiences have now lifted our running total to £21,273.14!! 👏 Thank you, you’re helping us move faster toward better treatments and one day, a cure 🧡 To see Matt on tour, go to ow.ly/15c850YREHb

@mattforde @audioacademyuk @BBCRadio4 Very well deserved! 👏🧡

Delighted and mildly surprised to be nominated for two @audioacademyuk ARIAs! The Matt Forde Focus Group is nominated for Best Comedy and British Scandal is nominated for Best Speech Entertainment. Both shows are great fun to make and in both instances I stand on the shoulders of exceptional co-stars, writers and producers. So in a way, I’ve not been nominated at all.

“AV Matrix has provided technical production for the annual Bone Cancer Ball at the Royal Armouries for a number of years. We really value their collaborative professionalism...” Kate Connor, Director of Fundraising, @BCRT. 3/4

This time next week, I’ll be almost 4 hours in! Still time to donate if you can… @BCRT justgiving.com/page/judith-jo…

This time last year I won the @smiley Champion of Change Award. It felt like a real moment that marked the end of the horror and the start of my purpose - and now that I’ve been named @BCRT first Youth Ambassador I want to keep sharing my positivity by highlighting #TYACAM

I remember waking up one morning thinking I’d had the worst dream. I felt instant relief for that split second… until I realised it wasn’t a dream. Tomorrow marks the start of Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month and I want you to know I see you and I’m with you 🧡

Tickets for The 20th Anniversary #BoneCancerBall are NOW ON SALE! Join us for a truly memorable night as we mark two decades of BCRT and come together to continue making a difference for everyone affected by primary bone cancer 🧡 To book, visit ow.ly/187l50YzAqo

A huge thank you to our incredible ambassador, @mattforde for once again welcoming our volunteers to collect life-saving funds on his Defying Calamity UK tour. In just two months over £10,000 has been raised so far 🎉 To see Matt on tour, go to ow.ly/XcrN50YxK2K

@BCRT @back_the_BBC My son, Hugh Kiddey, died from #EwingsSarcoma in 2002. The little girl in this appeal, Beth, died aged 12 in 2022. 20 years on & while treatment has come on a bit, it is not enough & young people die. BCRT do research. Please listen. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

The day before my amputation I wanted to feel the sand between my toes one final time. This day was the lowest point in my life. #BCRTMemories But now I am honoured to be @BCRT Youth Ambassador, helping others see that no matter how hopeless things become, it can get better 🧡

Today marks 20 years of the Bone Cancer Research Trust! 🧡 To honour our community, we’re launching a new campaign, Memories. Your memories will lead the way in shaping the story we share throughout our anniversary year. Find out more: ow.ly/HtXK50YtjA3 #BCRTMemories

Saturday, 14 March is the Bone Cancer Research Trust’s 20th Anniversary! 🧡 To honour our community, tomorrow at 9am, we’re launching a new campaign that puts your memories at its very heart. We can’t wait to share this with you! 🧡 #UntilTheresACure

At every show this tour, I’m collecting money for @BCRT. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised over £8000 after the first few shows. Added to the money from last year that’s over £23,000! Because it’s so rare, there’s very little research into bone cancer. The sort I had, a chordoma, affects 1 in a million people. The BCRT are trying to find a cure for bone cancer so that people don’t have to have the life changing surgery that I had. If you come and see me this year there’ll be volunteers collecting after the shows. They’re amazing people who’ve got personal experience of the brutality of bone cancer. Last night in Buxton I met Kate. She lost her husband Kyle to bone cancer in 2023. Since then she’s raised £55,000.
