🦴Meet Elliott Cobb-Webb, who’s running the London Marathon dressed as a human bone to honour his father, Paul, who died just six months after his sarcoma diagnosis. Paul first noticed a lump on his thigh but dismissed it for months, thinking it was just a knock. It wasn’t until a physio urged him to get it checked that he was diagnosed with pleomorphic soft tissue sarcoma. His story is a painful reminder of why early detection is so important. Now, Elliott is turning his grief into action by tackling the London Marathon on 27 April for Sarcoma UK, helping to fund vital research and support for those affected. Thank you Elliott 💙 Read more about Elliott's story at https://lnkd.in/eym8_xyq #TeamSarcoma #SarcomaAwareness #LondonMarathon
