"Thursday, May 21st, will mark the 10th edition of the Rhodri Jones Memorial 5k Beach Run/Jog/Walk. What was originally planned in 2016 to be a one-off event returned the following year after positive feedback from those who took part the previous year.

It is hard to believe we will take part in the 10th edition of our family-friendly event. Thank you to everyone that has participated over the last nine years – your support means so much to Rhodri’s family and the wider bone cancer community.” Lee Morris, organiser.

Rhodri was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in his pelvis when he was 19 years old. He sadly passed away just nine months later in February 2006, aged 20. The Rhodri Jones Memorial Appeal, a Special Fund of the Bone Cancer Research Trust, was set up by Rhodri’s family to raise awareness and vital funds for research into osteosarcoma 🧡

Lee has supported the fund since 2016 and has raised over £60,000 in Rhodri’s memory.

The annual 5k is one of Lee’s biggest events and to celebrate the 10-year anniversary everyone is welcome to take part, no matter where you live! The 5k can be completed virtually or in person and everyone will receive a finisher medal 🏅

We’re giving a huge to everyone who attended Freddie’s Ball last week! The amazing team at Taylor Vets who organised a fabulous animal themed masquerade evening to support Freddie’s Future, a Special Fund of the Bone Cancer Research Trust.

Freddie was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing sarcoma at just 6 years old. His family set up their Special Fund to help find kinder and more effective treatments for children like Freddie.

Over 50 local businesses came together to make Freddie’s Ball truly unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who supported and attended on the night!

By buying raffle tickets, placing bids and donating so generously, a phenomenal £5,000 was raised for Freddie’s Future, funding vital research into Ewing sarcoma.

What an incredible community coming together to make a real difference🧡
