In a huge breakthrough for the #CatchUpWithCancer campaign, a national newspaper has joined us in challenging every major political party to commit to a dedicated national cancer plan in their election manifestos.

ARTICLE: King Charles and Kate's bravery in cancer fight sparks fresh demand to end UK crisis

The call for a radical U-turn on cancer follows the bravery of the Princess of Wales, Catherine Windsor, and King Charles, in announcing their own diagnoses, which has brought cancer back into the spotlight. 

Yesterday it became public from NHS England statistics that 6,313 cancer patients waited more than three months to start treatment from an urgent GP referral in Quarter 4 2023/2024, one of the worst quarters in recent memory.

ACTION: Please share this article far and wide to increase pressure on political decision makers
