Brain tumours kill more under 40’s and children then any other cancer, yet they get approximately 1% of the national cancer research budget. Little progress has been made in the last 40 years due to the lack of funding. 80% of people diagnosed with a brain tumour are dead within 5 years. This is a heartbreaking statistic and terrifying for those of us living with one. Later this year will mark 6 years since my diagnosis.
In 2015/16 the government agreed that more money must be ploughed into this cause and promised to give approx £35mil a year to try and bring us somewhere closer to the amount other cancers get. Unfortunately, very little of this money has been allocated to brain tumour research.
We have 5 days to get this petition to 100,000 signatures in order to get it back to parliament for debate and try and get the funding at long last.
I am only young and have 4 small children who I need to see grow up. Please take a few minutes to sign this petition and help us try and get there, it would mean more then I can ever tell you
