Sarcoma UK

🌟 Thank you to Levi for his bold skydive in support of Sarcoma UK! Levi took to the skies for his brother, Darrell, who is living with synovial sarcoma. Darrell shared his story as part of our Don't Delay campaign during Sarcoma Awareness Month, helping to spread the word on the importance of early diagnosis. We’re also thrilled to share that Darrell has been shortlisted for two Shining Star Awards in recognition of his inspiring commitment to raising sarcoma awareness! ✨💙 Thank you, Levi, for your fearless leap and sensational support. You’re truly making a difference for everyone affected by sarcoma!

“Immediate support needed for families of children with cancer” Kate Munday-Hoctor is calling for urgent psychological support for families like hers. After her daughter Amber was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, Kate saw how little support there is for parents. Amber has since undergone five surgeries, six weeks of radiotherapy, and numerous other traumatic procedures. Now 15, Amber has been cancer-free since 2020, but continues to struggle with PTSD. Kate believes that families should have immediate access to psychological support from the very start of their journey. In recognition of her dedication to supporting other parents through the Sarcoma Parents Support Group, Kate has been shortlisted for Support Group Champion of the Year in Sarcoma UK’s Shining Star Awards. Thank you Kate for your tireless dedication to supporting families affected by sarcoma 💙

We're delighted to share that our Don't Delay campaign for Sarcoma Awareness Month 2024 has been shortlisted for Best Charity-Agency Collaboration at the CharityComms Inspiring Communicator Awards!

The powerful 'days to diagnosis' concept - featuring the experiences of over 30 people affected by sarcoma - reached millions online, in the press and on the streets. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who generously shared their story and helped raise vital awareness of sarcoma.
