My name is Aiden and I was diagnosed with sarcoma at the age of 26, and it’s something I’m still living with today. I’m now 29 and have had 3 surgeries and 30 sessions of radiotherapy to date. 

In 2026, my family and friends are taking on 26 challenges, from endurance events to charity matches, to raise awareness of sarcoma and to help support me and my family during a really difficult period.

I’ll be starting chemotherapy 06/01/2026, which makes this year particularly challenging. I will be an inpatient for 4 days a week per cycle for up to 6 months. If the chemo is successful it could open up potential surgical options or further treatment moving forward. My family and friends are helping take on these challenges on my behalf, while I focus on treatment and recovery.

I’ll be documenting and sharing the journey throughout the year the best I can.

Funds raised will be used to:

– Help cover the costs of completing these challenges

– Support me directly through ongoing treatment and recovery

– Make a guaranteed donation to Sarcoma UK, with additional donations made as fundraising milestones are reached

My aim is to donate at least 25% of funds raised to Sarcoma UK over the course of the challenges, depending on total funds raised and costs involved.

Thank you to anyone who donates, shares, or follows along, your support genuinely means more than I can put into words.
