The company
Our client became a registered charity in March 2006 and from a small, powerful group of families, the charity has grown into a leading source of information and support for anyone affected by primary bone cancer. Each year in the UK and Ireland around 600 people are diagnosed. Only half of those newly diagnosed will survive. There is still so much more to do. An ambitious new strategy is underway to gather pace, profile and funds to ensure this charity drives forward even more research to find treatments that will make this rare and devastating cancer a curable disease.
