lobby

Well Hat Day tomorrow...hope you all have your badges to wear or if not a hat to mark Brain Tumour Day  o(:-)

We are off to Westminster on tuesday 29th to lobby the MPs to support the funding of research and we shall also hand out copies of the manifesto. Vernon Coaker MP was at the launch of the website and was extremely supportive I'll pop a clip of his speech at the end of this. I've contacted Patrick Mercer so will hopefully get his support too.....I also got in touch with number 10 ~ well why not indeed, you've got to aim for the top!! Let's see if there's a reply!

I saw James Cracknell on tv this morning describing the difficulties he's faced following his brain injury and his arduous recovery and thought this is what our children family and friends often face as a result of a brain tumour as well as cancer. Wouldn't it be fantastic if as a result of research that damage could be minimised and treatments be less invasive as well as discovering the cause of the tumour??

So might have to up the amount I would like to raise to something a little more significant what do you reckon?!

Any way.....here's Vernon!!!

Bye for now  ~  mimm
