Thanks to the incredible support of the brain tumour community, we have more than 81,000 signatures on our petition calling for increased investment for research into this devastating disease which kills more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.
The petition has now closed and we are grateful to each and every one of our loyal supporters who helped us achieve this impressive total in just six months, galvanising their networks to get behind our cause. We have welcomed many new people to our community and our voice is being heard louder than ever.
Dan Knowles, our Chief Executive, said: “Today we are sending out a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us by signing the petition and encouraging everyone they know to get involved. Once again, the brain tumour community has answered our call and we will now ensure your voice is heard loud and clear. We will continue to amplify your voice in the corridors of power and have exciting plans to engage with politicians, including a planned hand-in at No. 10 Downing Street, to keep up the pressure required to drive the change that brain tumour patients and their families need and deserve.”
