THE PETITION

This International Petition is in support of the UK Petition to the UK Government found at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/leukaemia

As non-residents of the UK are unable to sign the main petition, this petition will be used as a means of support for the UK petition.

Most people would say “it’s ONLY Leukaemia, that’s curable”. Speak to a family who has lost a Child, Teenager or Young Adult to Leukaemia and they will tell you otherwise. Leukaemia is an aggressive Cancer requiring aggressive treatment and the biggest killer of Children, Teenagers & Young Adults in the UK. Families who have lost their precious children to Leukaemia request that the Government promote Awareness of this Cancer. There is worldwide recognition of the Pink Ribbon for Breast Cancer which has saved many thousands of lives however there are few campaigns aimed at increasing knowledge and early recognition of Leukaemia. We ask the Government to be the "World's Forerunner" in a campaign aimed at raising Awareness of Leukaemia through it's own Channels and Media Sources. We ask that Government provides information to GP’s who often dismiss the signs as normal Child & Teenage ailments. By being better informed, we can get earlier diagnosis, earlier treatments & maybe better prognosis and outcomes in the future. We also ask that public money is invested into research projects to try and eliminate a devastating illness that costs our NHS millions each year.

DESIRED OUTCOME

We ask the Government to establish a campaign aimed at raising Awareness of Leukaemia in children, teenagers and young adults.

We ask that Government provides information to GP’s who often dismiss the signs as normal Child & Teenage ailments.

We also ask that public money is invested into research projects
