Orthopaedic Research UK is a small independent charity dedicated to advancing orthopaedic knowledge. In simpler terms we fund researchers all around the country to try to find treatments and cures for patients who have problems or disorders with their bones and associated muscles, joints and ligaments.

Joint disease affects over 8.5 million people in the UK. We want to eliminate it.

In the UK 1 in 2 people will be treated for some sort of  potentially painful orthopaedic condition in their lifetime. It affects all ages. 

We aim to improve the quality of patients' lives by keeping them pain free and ensuring that they remain active.  The more funding we receive the closer we are to eliminating bone and joint disease.

With your help, we can achieve this goal.

If you are a keen runner or even a beginner we would be so grateful for your support. We can provide you with everything you need. T shirts, sponsorship forms, web links, fundraising advice and lots more. All we need you to do is run. Easy!
