Cancer Research UK are campaigning to improve UK cancer survival to be the best in the world, to obtain determined political action in the next Parliament to improve early diagnosis and access to the best, innovative and evidence-based treatments for all cancer patients. They are specifically calling for:

- Continued support for campaigns to raise public awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer;

- A commitment to increase participation in the national bowel cancer screening programme;

- Equal access to innovative radiotherapy, surgery and effective cancer drugs, including drugs targeted to patients' tumours.

Stephen commented "As an individual I have experienced the sadness of seeing loved ones lost to cancer as well as the sheer relief and joy that only a loved one being given "the all clear" can give you, and thanks to the work Cancer Research UK and others have done more people than ever are surviving cancer. It is vital that more and more people continue to survive cancer and that's why I am supporting Cancer Research UK's campaign to "Cross Cancer Out".
