Petition update, 21 November 2008

More details from petition creator

In the UK currently the majority of research into childhood cancers relies on charitable donations. Children in the UK deserve the right to the best treatment available. Government funds should be available to fund vital research into childhood cancer.

In the US 'The Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007' is a landmark piece of legislation which authorizes $150 million over a five-year period to expand support for biomedical research programs of the existing National Cancer Institute-designated multi-center national infrastructure for pediatric cancer research, establish a population-based national childhood cancer registry, enable researchers to more accurately study the incidence of childhood cancers and long-term effects of treatments, and provide funding for informational and educational services to families coping with a diagnosis of childhood cancer.

We strongly believe that we should have similar legislation in the UK. Cancer is the main cause of death in children in the UK!
