Entrepreneur, Property Expert, TV Presenter and active campaigner on
behalf of Brain Tumour Research, Sarah Beeny has launched a new
e-petition. Sarah is leading our call to action for everyone to get behind this
e-petition.
“I am asking YOU to PLEASE sign this e-petition TODAY. I’ve lost two
people dear to me from brain tumours and I’m campaigning with Brain Tumour
Research. With your help, we can achieve the greatest groundswell of support in
lobbying our government since the idea of a united campaign voice against brain
tumours was first conceived over 10 years ago. The brain is often seen as the
last battleground of cancer and brain tumours are the number one cancer killer
of children and adults under 40. Yet the science seeking a cure is shockingly
underfunded, receiving less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research. So
please join me and SHOW YOUR SUPPORT so that together we can reach our goal of
100,000 signatures. Thank you.”

here to sign the e-petition today.

e-Petition Raising Awareness & Funding for those affected by Brain Tumours
Brain Tumour Research through the Brain Tumour Consortium is calling on its supporters to sign a Government e-petition designed to trigger a parliamentary debate on how best to raise awareness and funding for those affected by Brain Tumours http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/17419
The petition was launched by Rachel Clark and has already attracted many hundreds of signatures but the Brain Tumour Consortium is backing Rachel’s petition in order to draw attention to the ‘three asks’ we have set out in our manifesto. These are to:
· Ensure early diagnosis and treatment byensuring that clear guidelines on identifying the signs and symptoms of brain tumours, and on referring patients for rapid and appropriate assessment, are integrated into General Practice and Emergency Medicine Practice.
· Implement NICE’s best practice guidance by setting a clear timetable to fully implement and audit theImproving Outcomes Guidance, or its country equivalent, in particular by ensuring that the Health and Social Care Bill maintains the progress made to date.
· Increase Government investment in brain tumour research and more accurately measure numbers of both primary and secondary brain tumours by publishing a detailed breakdown of site-specific braintumour research funding from the Government and ensure that by 2014 at least 7.5% of adults with primary braintumours are enrolled in randomised, controlled clinical trials as part of their therapy.
More details about our three asks can be found in the Brain Tumour Consortium Manifesto on the following link http://www.braintumourconsortium.org.uk/pdf/Brain%20Tumour%20Manifesto%202011.pdf
