Please use this link to email your MP and urge them to attend our campaign event on #WorldCancerDay. Today, The Guardian reported our campaign's stats "More than 500,000 in England waited at least two months for vital cancer care". Tomorrow, on World Cancer Day, we will be in Parliament for a day of action, and we want as many MPs there as possible to join us. 

Radiotherapy UK, the Catch Up With Cancer campaign along with a coalition of cancer charities will join forces on this important day to showcase the reality of being a cancer patient in the UK. And why a brave and bold National Cancer Plan is needed sooner rather than later. In the last decade alone, over 500,000 patients have faced delays in receiving the life-saving treatment they so desperately need.

The ongoing cancer crisis in the UK means that we still have a long way to go to provide a high-quality and timely standard of care for patients who need it the most. 


It will only take a short moment of your time so please, help us make a difference by emailing your MP and urging them to support our campaign so that we can finally #CatchUpWithCancer. Every email sent will boost our family’s campaign to ensure that no patient faces delays to life-saving treatment.

Thank you for your continued support.
