Quote from Sara
I’m so thankful I’m still here today, but it saddens me greatly that Yorkshire is one of the hardest hit regions by cancer. We have a lot more life left to live; we need our voices heard and London needs to listen. I encourage the people of Yorkshire to all stand together, collaborate and affect change.”
Yorkshire is one of the regions hardest hit by cancer. But right now, we have a unique opportunity to change this.
The Government is working on a National Cancer Plan. It will define how the country tackles cancer for years to come.
We're urging the Government to invest now for a cancer-free future - in Yorkshire and beyond.
More than 2,500 people have signed our letter to the Health Minister. Thank you for your support.
