  • Laurence Whiteley MBE

    Ambassador

    We're delighted to have Olympic gold medallist Laurence Whiteley MBE as one of our charity ambassadors. Laurence was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at the age of 14 and underwent limb salvage surgery. He initially took up swimming as part of his rehabilitation before discovering rowing.

    Laurence said: "I first heard about you through my own experience and since then you've been one of my go to charities. There are several important aspects of your work to me that stand out. The most obvious being trying to beat bone cancer. After that I would say, raising awareness about bone cancer and the different types, giving people advice and helping them through it, and fundraising."

  • Pete Lloyd

    Ambassador

    Pete is the Bone Cancer Research Trust's Patient Ambassador. His dedication to heling others knows no ends. He also has a Special Fund to support our life-saving work.

    "I love being Patient Ambassador for the Bone Cancer Research Trust, introducing patients, their families and friends to the charity. Giving a patient voice to the dedicated life-saving work the charity does and getting stuck in with fundraising and support where I can."

  • Dr Phillip Green

    Ambassador

    Dr Green is the Bone Cancer Research Trust's GP Ambassador. His help, support and commitment to our awareness activities have been invaluable.

  • Dr Liz O'Riordan

    Patron

    Dr Liz O'Riordan is the Bone Cancer Research Trust's new patron. She is a best-selling author, podcast host, speaker, retired breast surgeon and breast cancer patient who fostered a close relationship with the charity after her mum was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

    "Being a patron to me means two things. One, I can raise awareness of bone cancer. I'm a surgeon and I had one lecture on it in medical school. I thought it happened to small children, but my mum proves that it can happen to anyone. If I can make one member of the public realise that a lump in their arm or leg could be cancer then I have done something amazing. If I can drive research to these rare cancers and help get them the support that I'd have as a breast cancer patient it would mean the world."
