Hello
Yesterday was World Pancreatic Cancer Day. It seemed an appropriate day to close this petition and say a huge final 'thank you' given that it's objective had been met. However, I ran out of time - it was a manic day with lots of opportunities to spread awareness! The day started with a presentation to my local Council and ended with a Twitter Takeover of the legendary Neville Southall's account who kindly gave me a two hour slot to tweet from his account to his 135k followers to raise awareness on World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
So, I'm closing the petition today instead. I want to say thank you so, so much to each and every one of you that added your name and took the time to send me a message - YOU contributed to the successful outcome of the lobbying for Abraxane!
If you'd like to keep up to date with our work I'm on Twitter @maggiewatts or email at info@hopeiscontagious.co.uk
For those that have a passion for better outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients, you may be interested in Pancreatic Cancer UK's latest campaign pressing for treatment to commence within 20 days of diagnosis
So all that remains is to say thank you, you've shown such kindness and compassion and it really, really matters. I intend to continue to campaign for pancreatic cancer until we reach a day when patients receive a much better outcome than they do currently.
My very best wishes & grateful thanks to you all - when people pull together, change really can happen!
