I am writing to raise awareness of Macmillan’s Vote Cancer Support campaign.
People don’t choose to have cancer, and they don’t choose which cancer they get, but the forthcoming General Election gives us all the opportunity to choose how we treat the one in three people who are unlucky enough to get cancer.
Macmillan has been campaigning to improve the support offered to the two million people living with cancer, to improve access to treatments for rarer cancers, and for better out of hours care for people nearing the end of their lives.
I want our local parliamentary candidates to support these proposals to improve cancer care in the UK.
We need to keep the pressure on and I want to encourage others to get our local parliamentary candidates to sign up to the Vote Cancer Support campaign by going to Macmillan’s website: www.macmillan. org.uk/vote Peter and Carol Neal
