Could I bother you to sign a petition?

Some of you will be aware that my son was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2010, since then I have become involved with a few charities and support groups and am astonished how little research goes into finding a cause or cure, less than 1% of cancer research funds.

I would really appreciate it if you could sign the e-petition <3

The government must take action, NOW, to IMPROVE AWARENESS AND FUNDING IN THE UK: Brain Tumour research is approximately 12 YEARS behind other types of cancer research. 65% more women die from a brain tumour than from cervical cancer. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of UK children . 16,000 people each year in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour. More people under 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other cancer. Only 14% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond 5 years (compared with 50% for all cancers) 25% of all cancers spread to the brain. Every year there is a 4% increase in incidence. THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE FACTS: THE GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE ACTION NOW FOR THE FUTURE OF THOSE DIAGNOSED WITH A BRAIN TUMOUR.
