Nearly every day in the UK, a child will be diagnosed with sarcoma cancer, but tragically, it has one of the worst survival rates of all childhood cancers, with a lack of effective treatments and delayed diagnoses. Sarcoma is a rare, complex, and often overlooked cancer of the bone and soft tissue. With over 100 subtypes of sarcoma, this cancer is incredibly hard to research, diagnose, and treat. The consequences of this are clear; the 5-year survival rate for sarcoma is only 55%.

To fund research that will be most relevant and beneficial to families affected by sarcoma. Additionally, to run the Support line, which provides emotional support for families, facilitates early diagnosis, signposts people to key specialist centres & advocates for families and individuals who feel overwhelmed by jargon. We also have tailored support for families, including a Parents Sarcoma Support Group and a website hub for parents.
