Professor Paul Workman from the Institute of Cancer Research was recently featured in The Guardian for his team's breakthrough discovery involving brachyury, a protein which is believed to be responsible in the development and progression of chordoma. Their published work could lead to the development of potential new avenues to treat chordomas and other cancer cells. 

Paul's work has been inspired by the loss of his mother, Ena, to chordoma.

How your donation is spent

There is little funding available for research into this relentless bone cancer mainly because it is relatively rare, occurring in only 1 in 800,000 of the population. Without a focused approach to raising money for research into chordoma, little will change quickly.
