We focus on energies on fundraising, raising awareness and helping our fundraisers and their supporters.
MISSION STATEMENT
We see a world without Ewing’s sarcoma threatening the lives of our children and teenagers.
“We aim to fund desperately needed research into the treatment of Ewing’s Sarcoma, offering the promise of a cure for this aggressive, but treatable form of cancer.
In doing this, we hope that less invasive treatments can be developed that will not only improve survival rates that are being achieved, but also cause less side effects, by working to support the best specialists in the world.”

PATIENT STORIES
Here are the stories of just some people who’ve battled Ewing’s.
About 80 people are diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma each and every year in the UK. For anyone diagnosed with this form of cancer, treatment takes a long time, involving chemotherapy as well as surgery, radiotherapy or a combination of all three.
David’s Story
David’s Story
While Ewing’s sarcoma is a disease commonly associated with young adults and adolescents, that isn’t always the case. John Culshaw tells of his connection to Ewing’s, through his brother, David. Last year (2014) we lost my younger brother David to Ewing’s. He was 60 years of age. Ewing’s sarcoma is classed as a children’s disease and is extremely aggressive. The number of adults that contract the disease is in the order of 1 in 1,000,000 and unfortunately David was the one in...
Rebecca’s Story
Rebecca’s Story
Rebecca was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in her right femur in September 2011, aged 23. I first started noticing pain in my right thigh on New Year’s Day, 2011. I was 22 at the time. I put it down to too much dancing the night before and ignored it. It went away, but then came back a few weeks later. It would last for a week or so and was so bad it often kept me awake at night. People always asked...

What does your help really mean?
We are so thankful to all of our wonderful fundraisers. Advances in the treatment of Ewing’s Sarcoma only come from many days of research. Here two of our researchers have messages for you, because the money you donate enables them to identify new treatments for Ewing’s patients.
We’re fortunate to be beneficiaries of ESRT fundraising and I’d like to thank each and every one of you for your support. With the money that you have raised, we’ve been able to develop patient derived models. We’re now using those models to identify new treatments that could be used by doctors in the future to help improve cure rates for patients.
My project would definitely not have been possible without support from the Ewing’s Sarcoma Research Trust. It is so important that there is a charity that is solely focussed on finding new treatment options for Ewing’ Sarcoma patients. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the supporters of the Ewing’s Sarcoma Research Trust for their hard work and fundraising efforts.

Metastatic drug-resistance. Update on the work of Professor Sue Burchill and her team
Metastatic drug-resistant disease continues to pose the most difficult challenge for the successful treatment of many young people with Ewing sarcoma. Currently doctors have no tools to separate those patients that will be cured from those that have poor outcomes, nor any targeted treatment to eradicate the cells responsible for progression and relapse. With funding from ESRT and BCRT the Children’s Cancer Research Group (CCRG) at the University of Leeds, headed by Prof Sue Burchill, have isolated and characterised the sub-population...
Optimising the Treatment of Teenagers and Young Adults with Ewing Sarcoma through an Increased Understanding of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicity Biomarkers
Optimising the Treatment of Teenagers and Young Adults with Ewing Sarcoma through an Increased Understanding of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicity Biomarkers
The currently funded BCRT/ESRT study involves investigating the fate of drugs administered to Ewing sarcoma patients following administration, how they are broken down and cleared from the body and what factors are important in determining response and toxicity. This will provide information on how much drug individual patients should be given to ensure they receive the appropriate dose that is effective without leading to excessive toxicity. Through an improved understanding of the clinical pharmacology of these drugs we are looking...

Partnership with the GOSH Charity and Sparks National Funding Call
"The Ewing's Sarcoma Research Trust is delighted to be partnering with the GOSH Charity and Sparks National Funding Call 2020/2021. Early diagnosis of any cancer increases the chances of survival, but once diagnosed effective treatments are essential if we are to improve the outcomes for this rare cancer affecting the younger generation. We must build on recent progress to give Ewing's patients the same hope that every cancer patient can expect, and we hope that this research call will engender greater interest...
