I just want to thank every single person who has taken the time to sign my petition so far - 55,364 signatures so far, just WOW!

I have reached out to both Wes Streeting
Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the UK Government Department of Health and Social Care. I feel I now have enough support that I can proactively ask whether they are willing to respond publicly to my petition. 

I have recently been interviewed on the BBC Radio Scotland Breakfast show and also shared my story in the Independent & STV news. To raise as much awareness as possible around bowel cancer diagnosis in young people and my petition.

I will continue to reach out to the media, as this is something I feel so strongly about and will do whatever it takes for a change to be made. Everyone deserves a chance for an early cancer diagnosis, as this will ultimately save lives.

Please continue to share my petition far and wide, to gain as many signatures as possible.

Thank you!
