Launching Precision Medicine at the House of Commons
On Wednesday 29th March 2017, we launched our ground-breaking Precision Medicine project at the House of Commons. We announced funding of £1.5 million for Precision Medicine – a brand new form of treatment for children with cancer.
The event was hosted by Shadow Minister for Public Health, Sharon Hodgson MP. Amongst our guests were childhood cancer families, concerned MPs, celebrity friends and involved supporters. It was a successful day, aimed at raising awareness amongst MPs and stakeholders of this exciting new Precision Medicine project.
Sharon Hodgson MP said:
I am humbled that we are here today to launch Children with Cancer UK’s new £1.5M fund, to support the deployment of Precision Medicines across children’s cancers. Precision Medicine will target specific cancers in children.
