The Bone Growth Foundation began in 1991, when a doctor involved in straightening and lengthening children’s limbs realised that very little was being done to find better, less painful ways to help these children.

The Bone Growth Foundation’s work is already providing better, less painful treatments for children with crippling growth problems. Straightening and lengthening the limbs of children with crippling growth problems aims to help those children to grow up and live a normal life. But the process is very long and very painful – many would say ‘barbaric’.

The Bone Growth Foundation was established to provide infrastructure and support for new research into bone growth – research that aims to find better, less painful, treatments for the children affected by crippling growth problems.

The Foundation is a self-funded, not-for-profit organisation operating solely on donations, sponsorships and the proceeds of our own fundraising efforts.

Gerard McCabe is proud to be involved with this fantastic charity. Gerard McCabe is a major sponsor of the Bone Growth Foundation and the annual Gerard McCabe Celebrity Tennis Challenge.
