In just one week, over 1,600 of you have signed the petition calling for urgent reform in how we diagnose, treat, and support cancer patients in the UK.

That’s 1,600 voices saying: we can do better.

This petition isn’t about blame. It’s about urgency. About recognising that outdated processes, long delays, and rigid treatment silos are costing people time they don’t have - and too often, lives.

To everyone who’s signed, shared, and donated - I’m beyond grateful. Your support is helping bring this conversation to life 🙏

Already, the head of my local NHS Trust and a few podcast hosts have reached out. It’s a small step, but it shows people are listening. Now, we need to go bigger - and get this in front of MPs, national media, and decision-makers who can drive real change.

If you can do one thing today, please share the petition again.

Share it with your local MP. Tag a journalist. Post it in a group chat. Forward it to someone who needs to see it.

Because if 1,600 voices can do this in a week, imagine what 10,000 or even 100,000 could do…

We’re not anti-NHS.

We’re pro-accountability.

Pro-science.

Pro-patient.

And we’re only just getting started 💪

Thank you - sincerely,

Dale Atkinson
