Fully-Funded Grant Applications
For the first time and after the success of the part-funded PhD positions, a fully funded PhD scholarship is being offered to encourage the UK’s best science graduates to pursue a career in the field of osteosarcoma. We welcome in particular, applications for both basic science and clinical PhD programmes that provide graduates with the excellent training foundations needed to become leading experts in osteosarcoma in the years to come. Multidisciplinary proposals are also strongly encouraged.
Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony charity (Charity Commission Number 1166416) was established by Hannah Francis, a hugely inspirational 18 year old who very sadly lost her life to osteosarcoma in 2016. Hannah’s wishes for the charity were that a large proportion of the money would go to support vital research into osteosarcoma, to improve the lives of people with this terrible disease in the future.
The trustees are now inviting applications from proposed supervisors for fully funded postgraduate studentships to commence between October 2020 and January 2021. Due to funding regulations, applicants must be based in the UK.
Completed application forms should be submitted in PDF format by 19th June 2020 to research@willberrywonderpony.org
Application form and T&Cs can be found HERE

Maddie's battle with Osteosarcoma
"It was like being hit by a train and the news just kept getting worse and worse"
In September, Maddie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, aged just 14. Maddie had hoped of becoming a Royal Navy warfare officer, although Maddie's life may have taken a turn she is dreaming big with a new goal of competing in the Paralympics.
Maddie has had a really difficult journey, on top of suffering horrors of treatment, on October 28th Maddie's femur snapped as she stood brushing her teeth at the sink upstairs. "She was on the bathroom floor just screaming and her leg was at a different angle. We knew it was broken – there was no two ways about it."
Her mum and dad have shared Maddie's brave story to help raise awareness of osteosarcoma.
Willberry has been so proud to be working with Maddie's family to fulfill Maddie's Willberry Wish of a 'Tack Room makeover', the weather has been a little unhelpful so it is a little ongoing! We cannot wait for Maddie to see her new Tack Room and be back with her horses. We have had some amazing help from companies who are local to Willberry and his rwam and hope that everything Willberry has done will help Maddie be able to care for her ponies whilst also providing somewhere warm and snug retreat to have a cuppa.
Willberry knows all to well that osteosarcoma is a devastating disease - but with his research projects ongoing to date he's making his hoof shaped impact. But this is just the beginning - lets work together keep #kickingcancersbutt.
