Success :)

Hi all,

Just a quick update this morning!

Last year I worked alongside the other Cancer Research UK Campaigns Ambassadors on "The Year of Radiotherapy"

We called on the government to introduce an action plan to improve Radiotherapy services in England. We collected over 36,000 signatures for a petition that was handed in to Downing Street and we did various other things to publicise the campaign.

WELL! All the hard work was so worth it!

Yesterday David Cameron announced £15 million will be spent on an adncanced radiotherapy technique that will be rolled out across the country. This type of radiotherapy will have fewer side effects and will benefit around eight thousand cancer patients every year!



Congratulation to Cancer Research UK for making this happen! It's absolutely brilliant! And a massive well done to all my fellow Cancer campaigns ambassadors; everyone worked so hard on this and it's so exciting to see all the hard work pay off in such a brilliant way!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to sign the petition and show your support, it means a great deal and has played a huge part in making this happen!

Here's hoping we repeat our phenomenal success with the Answer is Plain!!!
