If you're still in the risk-free cancellation window, you might want to consider canceling and booking on points. Doing a flexible date search, I see availability almost every day next summer on CMH-LHR and v.v. at 62,500 each way. Even if you're outside the free cancelation window it might be worth paying the cancellation fee.
