Rare But Real: Let's walk to make sarcoma seen

Rare But Real Logo on Transparent background

Most cancer charities ask you to walk. We’re asking you to be seen.

The Rare But Real walks in Reading and Manchester are more than fundraising events – they’re a call to action. By participating, you’re joining a community determined to bring sarcoma into the spotlight, advocate for early diagnosis, and push for equitable access to care.

Whether you’ve lived with sarcoma, supported someone who has, or are just beginning to learn about it, you’ll know this much is true: sarcoma is rare, but its impact is very real. Each year, 5,300 people in the UK are diagnosed – yet awareness, recognition, and treatment options still lag far behind where they need to be.

Walk with us in Reading and Manchester to bring about the change we need.

‘When my brother was diagnosed with sarcoma, I was shocked by how few people in our circle had heard of it. Events like this aren’t just about raising funds – they’re about making the invisible visible. That’s why I’ll be walking alongside all of you this summer.’
