There are lots of ways that you can learn about the Bone Cancer Research Trust and support us too.
Bake for a Breakthrough
We’re asking you to Bake for a Breakthrough. From 6th – 12th October, host a bake sale at your school!
Every cake sold and pound raised will fund vital research to speed up diagnosis, improve treatments, and give every patient the chance of a future.
How to take part
Host a bake sale at your school!
We have everything you need for your bake sale, including posters, bunting, banners, stickers and more.

Elfie Run
This December, host an Elfie Run – a festive, fun-filled event to raise vital funds for bone cancer research. Every step supports families affected by bone cancer.
There’s no registration fee or minimum sponsorship, and we’ll provide everything you need – from Elfie hats and T-shirts (while stocks last!) to sponsor forms, collection buckets, banners and more!
How to take part
You can hold your Elfie Run on any date between 8-14 December 2025, or pick a date that works for your school - making it easy to fit into your festive calendar.
Sign up, spread some cheer, and make a difference!
