Please help me in our fight for the Government to #CatchUpWithCancer by emailing your MP on this link and urge them to join a group of MPs calling for action in Parliament next week. There is a huge cancer backlog of 100,000 cancer patients and UK charities have warned it will take 5 years to clear. This is far too long and I am gravely concerned not enough is being done to tackle it. Right now cancer waiting times are the longest they’ve ever been.
The COVID pandemic has led to an unprecedented backlog in cancer diagnosis and treatment and without urgent action, experts warn that tens of thousands of cancer patients will die unnecessarily, and cancer survival rates could be put back 10 to 15 years.
A crisis of this scale needs Government attention and investment and we need it now.
So please, if you are able, use the link and please encourage others by word of mouth and/or social media to use the link too. The more people that do this, the greater our chances of success.
As ever, thank you for your support and help to date.
Kind regards,
Craig and Mandy Russell
