Please sign this petition ‘Fund more research into brain tumours, the biggest cancer killer in the under 40’s’ – Thank you

By aimee on 28th January 2016 in News

If you could please take a minute and sign this petition, we need to reach 100,000 by the 3rd February 2016.

Last years research into brain tumours received 1.5% of all cancer research funding, not nearly enough.

Brain tumours are the bigger killer in the under 40’s.

Please help – Thank you for the bottom of our hearts x

Petition for research into brain tumours

A&E – an emergency shunt inserted into Jacobs brain

Organic Almond Milk – how to make your own, I promise its easy!

Our little super hero Jacob is now selling aprons to raise money for the charities that have helped us since his diagnosis, and to set up a 'fighting fund' for Jacob so we can look at other treatment options elsewhere to help him.

We need to raise national awareness of the common signs and symptoms of a brain tumour in children and young people by equipping parents, the public and healthcare professionals with information they need. This is achieved through the distribution of symptom cards and posters to raise awareness of symptoms, and the promotion of a clinical guideline and training module for health professionals.

Every day 25 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour - that's over 9,300 people every year. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s, including children. Survival rates have not improved over the last 40 years - just 19% of people survive for 5 years or more.
