Get your MP to help fight brain tumours

James Arbuthnot MP, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Brain Tumours, has tabled an Early Day Motion (like a Parliamentary petition) calling on MPs to support the brain tumour manifesto.

We need you to write to your MP, asking them to sign this motion. Use our draft letter as a template, if you wish.

Your story could help others

March 2011 is Brain Tumour Awareness Month and we need as many stories as we can to raise awareness of the condition. Was your diagnosis very late, how were you looked after in hospital, can you inspire others, what would you like to see changed? Tell us more here or call Chene or Trevor on 0845 4500 386.

Share your insights and issues

If you haven't done so already, book your place for the Medicine and Me Conference, jointly organised by the Royal Society of Medicine and Brain Tumour UK, on 6 April 2011.

This is a chance to talk to other patients and experts about your experiences and learn from one another.

Find out more and book your place.
