So, fundraising. I've been fundraising for @bcrt-uk.bsky.social for the past couple of years, since my dad sadly passed away in November 2022 to bone cancer in his spine. I've fundraised since 2010 for various charities, but never had as much support as I've had from the team at BCRT #teambones
12hr charity stream/mod takeover for @bcrt-uk.bsky.social happening in 30mins time! Donate to make me eat horrible food (in my opinion), tattoo my arm, have me wear a skeleton outfit for snooker matches etc. All happening over at twitch.tv/scepticalsqu... #bcrt #teambones #charity

We're joining charities across the UK calling on Liz Kendall MP to reverse the proposed PIP changes.

The plans could leave bone cancer patients without crucial financial support.

Just 1 follow away from hitting the 450 mark on Twitch now.

Follow numbers don't define what I want/need though, but helps get more eyes on what I'm doing charity wise, so let's get that number 450 and then aim for 500?

New research!

We're proud to be funding a study with @cclguk.bsky.social which could uncover new treatments for osteosarcoma 🔬

Led by Prof Plevin @unistrathclyde.bsky.social, the team will investigate a protein called IKKα and whether blocking it could stop cell growth.

Young people like Kate should have their whole lives ahead of them.

After being diagnosed with advanced Ewing sarcoma aged 24, Kate’s options were limited. She died just eight months later.
